Trade Review
"De Bolla's The Education of the Eye is a significant contribution to both the ongoing delineation of 'visual culture' as a field of inquiry, and to the reading of eighteenth-century public space." -- Albion
"...The detailed analyses and discussions of the various ways of looking are both fascinating and illuminating." -- The Art Book
