An Introduction to the Study of Prehistoric Art (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Prehistoric Art<br><br>As the adequate presentation of a subject like that dealt with in this work largely depends on the extent to which it is illustrated, an effort has been made to illustrate it as fully and variously as the limitations under which it is published would permit. The sources from which the illustrations have been drawn are acknowledged in the List of Illustrations and the text. I desire, however, here more formally to express my thanks to the Hon. J. Abercromby, M. Boule and the Institut de Paleontologie Humaine, Mr. G. Coffey and the Royal Irish Academy and Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Dr. R. Munro, Mr. G. Penrose, and M. D. Peyrony: to the Societe d'Anthropologie de Paris, the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Archological Institute, the Somerset Archological Society, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, and the British Museum. Illustration of the Palolithic section has been facilitated by M. S. Reinach kindly consenting to my drawing considerably from his Rpertoire de l Art Quaternaire, and by M. J. Dechelette's publishers supplying cliches from his invaluable Manuel d Archologic. My indebtedness to L'Anthropologie, in which so much on Palolithic Art has first appeared, goes without saying.<br><br>Throughout I have given references in notes to enable the reader, if he so desire, to find the original and further illustrations, and the student to follow up in the original sources any subject in which he may be interested.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
