Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition Thus (In English). Folio, 33 by 27 cm. 537 pp. Profusely and richly illustrated with spectacular photographs principally but also some images of prints, maps, etc. The survey captures the Venice of fantasy, taking us into interiors mostly inaccessible to the tourist. The book has previously been unused and is essentially new. It does have a short red magic marker line on lower edge right by spine tip -- the typical mark of a remainder book. In our view, the mark is inconspicuous and will not disconcert most collectors.
