With signature of Hesketh Hubbard and dated August 1941 on front end paper. A charming book, taking the perspective of Raphael's 'A Holy Family' and sketching a 'biography' of its movements from artist's studio to its various, subsequent homes. A novel and light-hearted attempt to look awry at the reception and circulation of art through the history of this particular masterpiece. Scarce.
