About this Item

AN ARTIST IN ITALY BY WALTER TYNDALE R.I. 1913 1ST 26 COLOR PLATES TIPPED-IN. Staying with Italy I am pleased to be able to offer one of the beautifully illustrated travel books by the prominent artist of his era, Walter Tyndale R.I. (Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours) titled: An Artist in Italy. This large hard cover book (8 ¾ x 11 ¼ x 2 inches, 307 pages) was published by Hodder & Stoughton of London dated 1913 and the First Edition. The book includes 26 tissue-protected and captioned, tipped-in color illustrations, mainly from Venice and the hill towns of Tuscany. It was written by the Artist himself consulting fellow travelers and the literature of his times. Developments for color printing at the time are said to have benefited Tyndale and his art which featured careful rendition of the architectural detail of his subject scenes. The book is bound in dark blue cloth with elaborate gilt decorations and titles on cover and spine. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are handsome and attractive despite some minor smudges to the finish and light bumping to the corners and spine tips. Inside there is some foxing to the endpapers and even to the title page. Thankfully, it does not extend to the interior pages and plates. There is a neat gift inscription on the first blank page but that is the only mark I found in the book. The hinges are intact but tender and the binding is sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
