The book is published by National Geographic, reprinting articles from 1941, 1944, 1946, and 1951. However, due to the subject matter, I didn't find that it read in a 'dated' manner.
The book is laid out with a section of text for each civilization, and then several paintings depicting various subjects, often common life. I think that the subject tended towards royalty or the well to do, but this is probably because the best record of these lifestyles were recorded. Often the painting would be a conglomeration of different topics into one picture to illustrate a point. ( )
