An exceptional and highly collectible volume, this 1895 Cyclopedia of Architecture: Italy, Greece, and the Levant is a stunning testament to 19th-century scholarship and craftsmanship. Issued in a strictly limited edition of just 500 copies, this example is number 67, adding to its rarity and desirability. The book is elegantly bound with a beautifully ornate red leather spine, richly decorated and complemented by marbleized pattern covers, reflecting the refined taste and luxury bindings of the period.
Measuring 11.75 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 1.5 inches deep, the volume has an impressive presence, ideal for display in a library, study, or design studio. Inside, it is lavishly illustrated with numerous period photographs documenting the monumental architecture of Italy, Greece, and the Levant, offering invaluable visual insight into classical, ancient, and historic structures as they were understood and recorded at the end of the 19th century. Good antique condition, there are signs of wear and handling. A piece of the spine on the lower right corner is missing. Tight binding. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
A remarkable piece for architects, historians, designers, and collectors, this book is as much an object of beauty as it is a scholarly reference—perfect for those who appreciate architectural history, grand tour–era publishing, and finely bound antiquarian books.
