Daumier 120 great lithographs, 2007-12-11
by Cathy Dee (New Zealand)
As a fan of Daumier I was not disappointed by this book. The lithographs are clear and each one has a full page. Wonderful book which I will treasure - very very good value!
Also as always with Amazon the books arrived very quickly which, considering we are on the other side of the world is nothing short of amazing :_)Daumier: 120 Great Lithographs (Dover Art Collections)
Wonderfully reproduced plates at a bargain price, 2000-07-27
by Brian Kavalukas (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
This was a good book both in terms of quality and the price. Many art books become prohibitively expensive when the focus is on one particular artist. The book includes a well written bio on Daumier and descriptions of the plates for those who cannot read French. Still, one weakness that I found was the failure to include some of the most famous pieces. It was almost as if they had simply been forgotten to be inserted- they are even referenced in the biography!

To conclude, if you want one book that has all that Daumier had to offer this one isn't for you. However, if you would like to own some of it in a nicely presented package without spending more than $15 with shipping (that's amazing) then buy this book!
