Sicily antique travel book W A Paton Picturesque Sicily South Italian historical travel Harper 1897 historical photos Aetna Taormina retailer

A Sicily antique travel book by W A Paton: "Picturesque Sicily" about South Italian historical travel experiences. Published by Harper & brothers, with a copyright of 1897. (This 'New and Revised Edition' is ca 1902.) This book has many historical photos...a great book (gift) for the Italy-lover or fan of historical travel literature.

385 pages.

Condition: This book is about 120 years old... and looks very nice for its age. Minor scuffing to the corners of the handsome cover. Wear to the top of retailer the spine. No notes or underlinings, but some foxing and light staining (you are seeing the worst in my photos.). Binding is tight, but the front hinge is cracked, and it looks like the back hinge has been repaired. Please ask for photos, if you would like to see them - I concentrated on the table of contents and some of the illustrations.

This book is available in modern reprints and print-on-demand: get the classy original here :-)

(Gift-wrap option is available, even if Etsy is now hiding the icon...please look under FAQs.)
