Allen, Grant
Belgium: Its Cities
Publisher: L. C. Page & Company, Publishers, 1912 Boston, MA.
Book. Book condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall Travel Lover's Library. "The object and plan of this book is somewhat different from that of any other guides at present before the public. It does not compete or clash with such existing works; it is rather intended to supplement than to supplant them..I desire rather to supply the tourist who wishes to use his travel as a means of culture with such historical and antiquarian information as will enable him to understand, and therefore to enjoy, the architecture, painting and minor arts of the towns he visits. In one word, it is my object to give the reader in very compendious form the result of all those inquiries which have naturally suggested themselves to my own mind during thirty-five years of foreign travel, the solution of which has cost myself a good deal of research, thought, and labour, beyond the facts which I could find in the ordinary handbooks.." Illustrated with a photogravure frontispiece and sixty-four full page plates in duogravure. 425 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition; binding tight; clean, white text pages. Gift inscription on front endpaper dated 1916. Decorated covers; no dust jacket.
