Printed in 1899 it has the aura and smell only old books can have. <br />All b&w sketches and a good number in color. The photos you've posted are more impressive, however, than C's drawings and give the sweep of the landscape and that visionary sky.<br />One disadvantage is the pages and binding are delicate and I fear inflicting more wear and tear flipping around from page to page.<br /><br />Will have it only for a limited time but will following along. I also see now "Google maps" is sufficient - Collingwood has a map using a numbering scheme connecting points on the map with descriptive sections in the text.Ventristwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866617054823393327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993934953273965169.post-5153451140645034192011-03-14T21:52:23.775+00:002011-03-14T21:52:23.775+00:00Why thank you, Queen Vi... though Iceland being Ic...Why thank you, Queen Vi... though Iceland being Iceland, I think it would be very difficult to take a bad photo here...Emily Lethbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635622083913991862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993934953273965169.post-13717610873111080902011-03-14T20:07:41.221+00:002011-03-14T20:07:41.221+00:00You take a good photo, Ms Bulance...You take a good photo, Ms Bulance...Viqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144146397028019725noreply@blogger.com
