Well preserved first edition. 222 pp. of b & w low-level aerial photographs of the cities and landmarks of western Eurpoe. "This unique, provocative picture book shows the chief cities of Europe in a completely new dimension. Every picture is an aerial photograph, taken from a few hundred yards in the air by one of the best-known photographers in the U.S. Here are city squares old and new, castles, cathedrals, chateaux, famous shopping and pleasure places, networks of streets, boulevards and courtyards (some of the photos are virtually pictorial maps), rivers, bridges and glimpses of some old unchanging villages and countryside. Among the cities that may be seen here -- with the jog of surprise and discovery by the earth-bound beholder -- are London, Oxford, Edinburgh, Stockholm, Paris, Geneva, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Rome, Venice, Athens, and Madrid.
