Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wonders of Sculpture
Relics of the first crude efforts at sculpture and drawing have been preserved to us from the Stone Age in the clumsy carvings on rocks or bones found in caverns, once occupied by the men of that remote period, and in the ruins of those lake cities which are almost as ancient as the caves which sheltered the first inhabitants of our planet.
