Edwin Longsden Long   
Mark Bills (Cygnus Arts, 1998)


This is the only modern book on Long, and is a must, for the illustrations alone, if you are interested in this artist. The catalogue raisonnée, which follows the text, is also excellent.
   However, the rest of the book seems to have received rather less attention. The author has supplemented his own short biography with two articles by other authors: one on Long's studio houses (cf. Dakers, 1999), and one on Long's relationship with Merton Russell-Coates, the founder of the eponymous museum.

(The book is published in the US by Farleigh Dickinson University Press.)
