What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper, With Slipcase
In the original Danish.
Only 950 copies of this limited edition were produced.
A limited edition facsimile edition of 'Den Danske Vitruvius' by Laurids de Thurah, a monumental 18th-century architectural folio, first published in two volumes between 1746 and 1749, illustrated with engraved plates of Danish buildings, including royal castles, churches and city architecture.
