| This is the outside face of a 9" x 12"
book cover. The main image is taken from Edouard Manet's oil painting,
"The Railway," of 1873. This book cover is not for sale,
but is provided as an example. Book covers are valued depending
on detail. The text on this artwork reads as follows: "In every age there is a turning-point, a new way of seeing and asserting the coherence of the world... Each culture tries to fix its visionary moment when it was transformed by a new conception either of nature or of man. But in retrospect, what commands our attention as much are the continuities -- the thoughts that run from one civilisation to another." -- Jacob Bronowski |
