Description
Italy - HITTORF (J.J.) & ZANTH (L.). Architecture Moderne de la Sicile, ou Recueil des plus beaux monumens religieux, et des édifices publics et particuliers les plus remarquables de la Sicile. Paris, Renouard, 1835.
Large folio, blond half calf, smooth spine decorated.
First edition illustrated with a frontispiece and 75 hors-texte plates.
This work was produced by Hittorf and Zanth following their trips to Sicily in 1823 and 1824. Most of the work concerns palaces, civil buildings and churches. It includes drawings of Monreale Cathedral.
The main interest of this study lies in the representation of the monuments of Messina, which did not survive the earthquake of 1900 and would remain unknown without this work.
A very fine copy, with a few minor internal defects and scattered small brown spots.
