Venice: Illustrations by John Piper (Signed by John Piper)

Lithographic illustrations by John Piper. Black cloth with a Piper design embossed to the upper board. Signed by Piper to title page.

‘Few writers have so full a knowledge of Venice, her history and architecture, her daily life, as Adrian Stokes, who lived there for many years. Here his haunting and evocative text supports John Piper’s spirited lithographs in a joint work which will give the deepest satisfaction to all who love Venice, the mother of cities, and are not afraid to see her with contemporary eyes’.

Condition: some light rubbing to extremities. Stain to the top left corner of the inside of the dust wrapper, extending slightly to the top edge of the front flap, otherwise very good.
