Catalogue Note
"Probably the most beautiful [book] ever produced on Greece and Turkey" (Blackmer). The hand-coloured plates are justly celebrated for their depictions of the landscapes and peoples encountered by Dupré on his tour of Greece and Turkey and the work is among the most desirable colour plate books on the region.
