Cruikshank, J. W. & A. M.
The Umbrian Towns
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company, 1912 New York
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall Grant Allen's Historical Guides. Second revised edition, with 32 reproductions from photographs. Umbria is a small region in central Italy. "..The book is not intended to take the place of such guides as those of Baedeker or Murray. It does not give information about the details of travel, nor does it notice all monuments irrespective e of their merit or interest. In dealing with collections, the object has not been to furnish a catalogue, but to indicate the matters of essential interest, and, so far as is possible, to suggest the reason for this interest. An attempt has been made to give just enough historical tradition to enable the traveler to create for himself an atmosphere suitable to the objects which he is engaged in studying, and sufficiently detailed to suggest the place which they take in the general development of human interests.." Illustrated with 32 black-and-white photographic plates. 391 pages with index. Book is in GOOD condition. No dust jacket.
