4to., Second Impression thus, with sepia-toned title-vignette and very numerous sepia-toned photographs in the text, neat contemporary signature on front paste-down; original series binding of blue cloth, upper board lettered in blind, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy.
First published in the previous year. Combining history and travel, Medici's profusely illustrated 'Picture Guides' series is notable for its generous use of period photography. Each volume is filled with evocative images complementing a deceptively detailed text.
