Great Centres of Art: Belgrade, Djordje Mano-Zisi & Milica Baum (Editors) — First American Edition

Publication: South Brunswick and New York, A.S. Barnes and Company, 1970

Formatting: 4to, pp. 176.

Condition Report: Good. The volume remains securely bound and square, though it carries clear indications of its institutional provenance, notably a 'City of Liverpool Public Libraries' bookplate to the illustrated front endpaper, an associated barcode sticker, and a discreet ink stamp to the copyright page. The original dust jacket is fully intact, yet exhibits moderate surface scuffing, edge wear, and general handling marks consistent with library circulation. Internally, the pages remain bright and generally clean, unaffected by the exterior wear, while the text block edges show only minor dust-toning from shelf storage.

Catalogue Note: This First American Edition offers a richly illustrated survey of the finest collections housed within seven of Belgrade's leading museums. The volume is notably enhanced by striking pictorial endpapers that feature an intricate antique engraving of the city, providing historical context before the text even begins.

As an ex-library copy originating from the City of Liverpool Public Libraries, this specific volume holds established institutional provenance. The presence of the original bookplate and associated stamps tells the story of its previous circulation, yet it remarkably retains its original dust jacket.

Such comprehensive, English-language mid-century surveys of Yugoslavian art are relatively uncommon on the current market, providing a highly specific resource for art historians and collectors interested in Eastern European cultural heritage.

Great Centres of Art: Belgrade offers a captivating and scholarly journey through the artistic treasures of Yugoslavia's capital, drawing together the most significant pieces from seven of the city's preeminent museums. Spanning centuries of cultural heritage, from ancient archaeological artifacts and medieval frescoes to modern European masterpieces, this volume serves as both a detailed reference and a striking visual gallery. Extensively illustrated and carefully curated, it provides an invaluable window into the rich, diverse artistic legacy of Belgrade.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
