About This Item
In these early 20th century decorative leather books, the author describes the history of Venice by the study of the private life of the Venetians. Manners and customs are his main theme, interweaving events. "The Golden Age," comprises the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when Venice was the most fascinating spot in Christendom-the throne of a queen who held in fee not only the gorgeous East, but the imaginations of the worshipers of beauty, magnificence and pleasure throughout the civilized world. These volumes furnish description of the magnificence-and of the defects which accompanied it. Praise is due to the translator, himself a recognized authority on matters Venetian, and call particular attention to the illustrations, which do, in truth, illustrate the text on all sides.
