Paintings by Melbourne Brindle, introduction by Julien Levy
This book features a gallery presentation of Melbourne Brindle's fine art work on the 'incomparable Rolls-Royce of the pre- World War I era'. Twenty famous and important automobiles are painted and printed in full color plates in the elegant style that only Mr. Brindle can bring to the canvas. These along with a fascinating historical narrative, technical notes and black and white drawings. This is a benchmark work that would be the cornerstone to any library.
Anyone who appreciates the meticulous sturdiness of the Ghost chassis and loves the variety of body designs and coachbuilders who worked their magic on these Rolls Royce automobiles will like this book. Brief biographies of C.S. Rolls and Henry Royce and the introductions to and descriptions of each car are very well done.
Each two page spread contains beautiful art or lithographs of a select Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in period correct backgrounds, with a delightful telling of the story of each car, and the provenance of said car.
