1904 Venice by Menpes and Menpes / A&C Black London / 75 Super Colour Plates / Lovely Decorative Binding / Good Condition / Antique Book

In good condition, here is a lovely antique copy of Venice by Menpes and Menpes. Being a first edition, published in 1904 by Adam & Charles Black, London. With 75 super colour plates and lovely decorative boards. With some staining at the bottom edge of the boards being the only real condition point to note.

Contents: Arrival and First Impressions; History; A Glimpse Into Bohemia; Architecture; St Mark's; Painters of the Renaissance; Streets, Shops and Courtyards; The Islands of the Lagoon; Social Ups and Downs; Gondalas and Gondoliers.

Eye-catching sky-blue cloth covered boards have white and gilt decoration to the front and spine, and gilt titles. In good order. With some tanning to the spine and a little rubbing to the corners and spine ends. The main condition point to note is some staining in the bottom corner of boards next to the spine (see photos), and over onto the endpapers inside, but none at all to the other pages.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound with no writing or inscriptions. With a little spotting to the closed outside edges. The closed top edge is gilt.

Your antique copy of Venice will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to include a gift card and message if desired.
