The photographs of the paintings were carefully taken, and are carefully reproduced without any artificial retouching. This volume is a book by Leonardo, not one on Leonardo. Therefore the text contains merely Leonardo's biography by Vasari, who was almost his contemporary; and two other early biographies - all three complete, translated into English; a number of letters and somé documents of the highest importance, written either by Leonardo himself or by people who had dealings with him; and a helpful bibliography and notes on the plates. The biographies and the documents are accompanied by a detailed biographical conspectus and by notes of the editor giving full up-to-date information. This book is designed to speak to the eye rather than to the ear of the student, and does so by means of fine reproductions, most of them in the size of the originals, and as near to facsimiles as the finest photogravure and halftone can achieve.
