Beschreibung

First edition, small 8vo, xvi, errata slip, 319 pp, black & white plates after illustrations by Katharine McCracken, 2 folding maps, top edge gilt, remainder untrimmed and partly unopened, original green cloth gilt, a little soiled and some wear to extremities, "There could not be a more delightful little book about an old city than this about Gable. The place is very little known, and this fact especially strikes us when we realise how famous it was in the Middle Ages and in Renaissance times.Few tourists care to stop at Gubbio, though, as the capital of Umbria . It is a most agreeable history and description of Gubbio, without a dry or an unnecessary word in it. The illustrations are equally to be commended. The author's graceful Italian dedication, and the light touch of M. Paul Sabatier's French preface, seem to give an extra charm and an even more literary flavour to the whole." From The Spectator, June 1905. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6914
