A collection of hardcover art books from the Time-Life Library of Art series, published by Time-Life Books.

Each book is bound in a combination of white boards and color-coordinated spines featuring gilt-stamped titles and series identification. The spine colors include shades of red, dark green, and tan. Every volume is housed in its original white pictorial slipcase, which features a large-scale color reproduction of a representative artwork by the artist. These books are designed in a large quarto format and contain text detailing the historical and artistic context of each subject, alongside various color plates and illustrations.
Condition report:
The books appear to be in good overall condition. Visible wear is primarily localized to the slipcases, which show scuffing, minor bumping at the corners, and some light foxing and discoloration along the edges. The hardcover bindings show minor shelf wear and light rubbing to the head and tail of the spines. The gilt lettering on the spines remains legible.
