  • Comprehensive monograph treating all Rodin’s major pieces in their biographical, social and historical framework
  • Numerous illustrations of Rodin's sculptures (sometimes in situ and in detail), maquettes and works on paper, plus photographs of the artist at work and of his family
  • Thorough account of the commission, design and making of Rodin's greatest sculptures, ranging from The Burghers of Calais to such important portraits as those of Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac
