Venice: The Lion and the Peacock (1952) (Laurence Scarfe)

A unique and artistic take on Venice, distinguishing itself from typical travel guides. Scarfe’s narrative delves into Venice’s essence by blending historical reflections, observations of the city’s architectural and artistic legacy, and impressions from both past and present. Illustrations by the author. Dust-wrapper designed by the author. Condition: slight rubbing to corners of red cloth boards. Top edge of dust-wrapper a little grubby, otherwise very good.
