Three-volume set of Irish Art by Francoise Henry, published by Cornell University Press, covering the Early Christian period to 800 A.D., the Viking invasions 800 to 1020 A.D., and the Romanesque period 1020 to 1170 A.D. A classic and still widely cited scholarly survey of early Irish art, richly illustrated with plates, maps, and detailed analysis of manuscript illumination, metalwork, and architectural forms. All three volumes retain their original dust jackets and present well as a cohesive set. One volume contains a Nathaniel Tarn ex libris bookplate, linking the set to the library of the noted poet and anthropologist, born Edward Michael Mendelson. Clean, solid copies with light wear, an attractive and usable research set with added provenance appeal.
