ITALIAN CITIES (3 VOLUMES)

by Christopher Hibbert

Published by Folio Society. 1998

Almost very good condition. Three volume set: Venice; Florence; and Rome. Bound in full moire silk with gilt titles to spine and vignettes to front. Colour & b/w photos.

Second printing. Spines have faded (fairly normal for this set). Center section of first set of coloured plates in 'Rome' has not been bound in and so is loosely contained but present, lower front corner is bumped in correlation with the slipcase. Contents of all three volumes are clean. Contained in publisher's slipcase which is a little bashed to lower end (and thus 'Rome' is bumped to one lower corner) with wear to short side.
