About This Item
New York: The Vendome Press, 1979 Looks beyond the obvious conventional sights of Venice, to capture some of the fleeting images that are often taken for granted in the daily life of any city. The city's unique situation, rising out of the sea, and its wealth of architectural gems-palaces and public buildings alike-provide the scope for imaginative treatment. From the collection of Sanje (Frank) Elliott, Buddhist mentor, artist, and friend to many. Condition notes: 215 numbered pp; HB w/DJ. Pages: clean, bright, tight, decorative end pages; in memoriam stamp to front end page verso. Cover: red cloth, no titles; minimal shelfwear, tiny faint pen swipe front. DJ: unclipped, glossy black, color photo gondolier front, white titles front/spine; light edge/shelfwear, scrapes to fore edge. Heavy.
