About This Item
Italy: N.p., 1873. Hardcover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Oblong Quarto measuring just about 9 inches long by 6 1/2 inches tall. The binding is a white hardcover made to look like vellum (but is likely treated paper-covered boards) and has cover designs and lettering embossed in gilt. All edges red. Some of the thick pages are a bit wavy about the edges. The binding is soiled and bumped but is sound. There is some cracking to the front and rear hinges near the headcap. The front cover is stamped "ROMA" There is not date in the volume, but the images appear to be late 19th century. Image #46 is dated (printed along with the image in the margin) 1873. Although the front cover states "Roma", the images appear to be mostly from Pisa, Naples and Pompeii and contains some scenery as well as a number of images of art from museums. Although several images are noted to be from Pisa, there is NO IMAGE OF THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA. There are 11 unused blank sheets (22 pages) at the rear. (A list of the images can be sent on request).
