What reading level is A History of Art in Chaldæa & Assyria, V. 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[Illustration: FIG. 125. --Enamelled brick in the British Museum. ] There is a difference between such fragments as this and the glazed tilesof the Khorsabad gates. In the latter the enamelled edges of several brickswere required to make a single figure. In the bricks from Nimroud on theother hand, whole figures are painted on their surface, and in fact asingle brick had several figures upon it which were, therefore, on a muchsmaller scale. A decoration in which figures were some two and three ...feethigh, was well suited for use in lofty situations where those restricted tothe surface of a single brick would have been hardly visible. The lattermust, then, have been fixed on the lower parts of the wall, but as none ofthem have yet been found in place we cannot say positively that it was so.
Such representations were, moreover, quite exceptional. Most of the piecesof glazed brick that have been found in the ruins show nothing but theremains of figures and motives ornamental rather than historical in theirgeneral character.
