Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
Five hundred years ago the interior walls of every church were richly painted with religious imagery and vibrant patterns. This book explains when the paintings were made; what they show; who made them; how they were made; why they were made; why the Church stopped making them. The book also contains a Gazeteer listing 500 churches and chapels where wall paintings can still be seen in England and Wales. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour illustrations throughout. ISBN: 9781843833680. Neat name & date in ink to front endpaper. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly rubbed along lower rear edge.
