    “After an introduction on early ivories, the author surveys the art of ivory carving in Europe through the centuries: from Byzantine to Gothic, a style in which at first French artists were supreme, and which persisted through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries; from Gothic to the international art of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, when German work was the most abundant and maintained the highest quality, while the work of Italian craftsmen exerted an important influence."
