From Sketch-Book and Diary

From Sketch-Book and Diary, by Elizabeth Butler, first published in 1909. “Charmingly natural and spontaneous travel impressions with sixteen harmonious illustrations. The glow, spaciousness and atmosphere of these Eastern scenes are preserved in a way that eloquently attests the possibilities of the best colour process work.”—Outlook. “The letters in themselves afford their own justification; the sketches are by Lady Butler, and when we have said that we have said all. Combined, they make a book that is at once a delight to the eye and a pleasure to handle. The coloured illustrations, marvellously well reproduced, provide in a panoramic display faithful representations of the Holy Land as it is seen to-day. They make a singularly attractive collection, worthy of the distinguished artist who painted them.”—St. James’s Gazette.
