Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Conrad Martens and William Salter. Folk songs of Italy, Greece, Provence, Russia and the Slavs compared - the harvest songs, the laments, the ballads of the outlaw. Martinengo-Cesaresco was among the first to treat European folk song as a single field. This edition is bound with 56 plates of painting, among them self-portraits and works by John Phillip, Thomas Stuart Smith and John Frederick Lewis.
