“Just as we go to press arrangements have been made under which we shall shortly issue sets of Slides to illustrate a new work on Art which Messrs Methuen are about to publish.
It will be entitled 'A Brief History of Ancient and Mediaeval Art,' by Margaret H. Bulley (5s. net) and is specially written for Schools and Art Classes for instruction in Art. The subject will be divided into thirteen lessons.
Lesson 1 -- Paleolithic Art. The Ancient Hunters
Lesson 2 -- Egyptian Art. Old and Middle Kingdoms
Lesson 3 -- Egyptian Art. Empire and Restoration
Lesson 4 -- Babylonian and Assyrian Art
Lesson 5 -- Chinese Art
Lesson 6 -- Aegean Art
Lesson 7 -- Greek Art
Lesson 8 -- Greek Art
Lesson 9 -- Roman Art
Lesson 10 -- Byzantine Art
Lesson 11 -- Arab Art
Lesson 12 -- Gothic Art
Lesson 13 -- Gothic Art continued
Details will probably be available some time in 1914.”
“The Slides in this series have been arranged to illustrate the growth and development of Ancient and Medieval Art. Owing to the generous co-operation of a number of friends of education, many of these Slides have been made from private material, and are unobtainable elsewhere. It is believed that the publication of this series will fill a long-felt want, as knowledge and understanding of Ancient and Medieval Art is not only desirable in itself, but should also form the basis of a wider comprehension of Renaissance and Modern Art.
A Selection of 125 representative subjects from the above list has been made by the author for those requiring a shorter series.”
“A course of thirteen subjects, each containing about twenty-five pictures to illustrate the thirteen very excellent lessons—elementary and advanced—in the well-known book by Margaret H. Bulley.
Each subject includes Part I, an elementary lesson in story form, for the younger children; and Part II for advanced lessons.
All the descriptive matter for the above is contained in Ancient and Medieval Art, by Margaret H. Bulley, published by Methuen & Co. (price 7s. 6d.), 'which is primarily intended for parents and teachers and is the outcome of a series of picture talks given to two classes of elementary schoolchildren whose ages varied from 9 to 15 years.'”
