This unusual and abundantly illustrated book discusses a wide collection of paintings and other arts, from 1400 to 1900, that include the image of an account book. Throughout, and particularly in the concluding chapter, the author considers other connections between accounting, art, and history: the nature of artists' accounts, drawings on accountbook sheets, and the significance of double-entry bookkeeping for the development of modern capitalism.
