...first time ever in America, the works of the often misunderstood Pietro Testa are available for viewing in the Arthur M. Sackler Museum; an additional satellite exhibit is on display in the Fogg Museum, both through March 19. Though Testa is perhaps the least familiar of 17th century Italian graphic artists, he has also been called "the only original and truly Italian etcher" of his time...
...regular weekly issue, printed and bound with special care and sponsored by a single advertiser, Chevrolet. The project was inspired by the phenomenal popularity of our Jan. 11, 1988, cover story on the events of 1968, and by our own hunger for more images from that unusually graphic year.

Lavishly illustrated and superbly mapped, it compares favorably with older standards by Hugh Johnson and Alexis Lichine. Stevenson, a British expert, provides meticulously detailed information on both the basics (how to read wine labels) and the arcane (how wine is fermented). Idiosyncrasy blends with thoroughness here...
