[TRAVEL - ITALY] - WEY, Francis Rome: Description and Memories Paris: Hachette et Cie, 1873 Large quarto. Publisher’s full green percaline binding. Normal wear and tear. Scattered foxing at the beginning and end of the volume. Second edition (published one year after the rare original from 1872) of this beautiful publication by Hachette. The text by writer and art critic Francis Wey (1812–1882) offers a vivid and erudite description of the Eternal City, its ancient monuments, churches, museums, and customs. The book is remarkable for its rich iconography, comprising 346 woodcuts drawn by the most famous artists of the time (such as Regnault, Bayard, Catenacci, and Viollet-le-Duc), as well as a large, separate-sheet map of Rome. References: Vicaire, 19th-Century Books, VII, 1146
