Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dresden 1: The Royal Picture Gallery
My friend, Martin W. Sampson, sometime Professor of English in Indiana University, has had the uncommon goodness to take off my hands the task of translating the book from the original German. Few will appreciate the greatness of the obligation he has put me under, for to translate a compact art booklet of this kind is far more difficult than people think.
