Detailed study of the contextual & figurative meaning of the Valois Tapestries which now hang in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1975. 2nd Printing . Hardcover. Very Good-/Very Good-. I'd have graded this rather higher as it is a solid, lightly used, newish copy, but it has a notable marking problem. Specifically, it has neat occasional, underlining in ultra thin blue ballpoint, usually 3 or 4 word passages with an occasional check mark at the margin. It is worth noting that the marking is quite minimally done and therefore subtle in effect. Text crisp, boards clean, trace bumping front lower, binding tight. The jackets sole notable flaw is an internally mended short tear at top back, near spine, price clipped, looks quite sharp in it's mylar wrapper. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. We assure the buyer that books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, using the strict, traditional standards.*
