First edition of the principal published work of the distinguished Mexican art historian Manuel Toussaint (1890-1955). Toussaint deals fully with Mexican architecture, sculpture and painting, and his book is historically important in that it provides useful coverage of such topics as neo-classical architecture in Mexico which had hardly been mentioned in earlier publications.
