About This Item
Medici Society,, [1926]. 4to., First Edition, with map as frontispiece, sepia-toned title-vignette and very numerous sepia-toned photographs in the text, original series binding of green cloth, upper board lettered in blind, gilt back, a near fine copy. Combining history and travel, Medici's profusely illustrated 'Picture Guides' series is notable for its generous use of period photography. Each volume is filled with evocative images complementing a deceptively detailed text.
