A nice collection of Durer's delicate, detailed drawings. Each has some info about the drawing by some expert in the field. Most of the drawings were apparently drawn so lightly that the images in the book had to be darkened for them to show completely (hence the gray backgrounds, as if drawn on gray paper). Still, details are clear. His drawings, though, are not as wonderfully complete as his paintings and woodcuts, so there may be some disappointed fans out there who have seen other masterpieces by him. My copy has yellowed with time, due to type of paper used, but it nicely completes my collection of all things by Durer. I think a glossier paper would have been worth the extra expense here (hence my 4 out 5 star rating). Again, a great collection, despite my 4-star review!
