Description
Edizione: a very handsome book, replete with a great profusion of full page engravings executed by thomas allom. as the preface notes, there is no country in europe, not even the original land of the romans, that retains more distinct and perfect evidence of the greatness of that nation that conquered gallia. the amphitheatre at nismes. maison carrée and the pont du gard, may be appealed to boldly in support of this assertion. france is peculiarly rich in architectural monuments.it is a matter of doubt whether her churches or her palaces are the more admirable; and it has been the fortunate lot of this national work.to have been committed to a hand so practiced in tracing the treasures of art, so successful in fixing picturesque impressions on the mind.the variety that exists in age, manner, and object.has given mr. allom an opportunity of displaying the unlimited power of his pencil.equality, the indication of a formed and firm style, prevailing throughout.
