About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1893. Hardcover. 16mo. Brown cloth with gilt spine lettering and decoration. iv, 321pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece. Very good. Mild binding wear and bit of typical cloth flecking. A tight, nice first edition of this Italian travelogue. Given the tiny bookseller's ticket of Flor & Findel in Florence at lower right of front pastedown, the ownership signature on front flyleaf (dated Florence, September 1900) is no doubt that of an Anglo experiencing the fabled Grand Tour. Uncommon. Freeman (1823-92), who also published a similar travel book about Greece, was a prolific British historian and politician.
