This particular work offers a carefully chosen selection of both the decorative and fine arts of Sweden, Iceland, and the northern most region of Finland. A comprehensive survey, it includes paintings, jewelry, textiles, metalwork, carving, furniture and pottery. Charles Holme (1848-1923) was an art critic who promoted peasant art, and edited numerous books to share the artwork, including Old Houses in Holland (1913); Peasant Art in Russia (1912); and The Art of the Book (1914). Holme was born in England, and enjoyed the privileged life as the son and heir of a silk manufacturer. He also worked in the same field, even expanding the business into Japan. He retired in 1892 and then turned full-time to the arts. He began The Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art, serving as editor from 1895-1919, when he retired, and his son, Charles Geoffrey Holme took over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Holme\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633915514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633915510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westphalia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Charles Holme","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984773611775,"sku":"9781633915510","price":14.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39dc4368-9977-4bfd-8ef7-5d0f4ec7cbc7.jpg?v=1683274104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peasant-art-in-sweden-lapland-charles-holme-9781633915510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
