Description

This is a very good hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket. The light blue cloth covers have a little fading around the edges, and the leather spine labels are wearing away. The text and plates inside are very clean. The dust jacket is lightly soiled with a few small pieces missing from the spine:top, middle and bottom. Text in Italian. This survey of the arts of Lombardy includes both fine and decorative arts. There are paintings, and prints, jewelry and textiles, carvings in ivory, wood and stone, reliquaries and other religious artifacts, and miscellaneous objects. 24 text pages, also extensive notes for each of the plates and illustrations, including provenance and bibliography. 24 full-page tipped-in color plates + 152 black & white illustrations. 12" high X 9" wide. This book will be securely packed and shipped with tracking.
