Text is in Portugese and English. "The extraordinary collection of Saint Anne images was assembled by Angela Gutierrez over three decades of searching for the pieces in Minas Gerais and other regions of the country. The collection is a priviledge field for the sacred art historian, who seldom comes across a collection centred on a single devotional theme." (p. 9) Includes several essays about Saint Anne and about the collection. Dozens of full-color illustrations of the statues are reproduced on high gloss paper; and five of the statues are even reprinted on paper cut-outs that can be pulled out of the book. Quite an exquisite presentation.
