The Macmillan Encyclopedia of Art, edited by Bernard L. Myers and Trewin Copplestone, is a comprehensive overview of global art history first published in paperback in 1981 by Papermac. The volume spans artistic eras from Palaeolithic and Ancient Egyptian art through the Italian Renaissance, up to 20th-century movements like Dadaism, Surrealism, and Pop Art. This reference work includes contributions from notable academics and curators from institutions such as the British Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and London University. The book is in acceptable condition, showing clear signs of shelf wear, edge bumping, and spotting on its softcover binding, though the internal text and full-color illustrations remain complete.
