About This Item
Rome: Privately Published, 1908. Soft cover. Fair. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Floor Plan. Original pictorial wraps (lacks the rear cover). No publisher, just the street address 145 Via Rasella, Rome, 1908. Stated eighth edition. 305 pages. The book was evidently distributed by Max Bretschneider; his small sticker is affixed to the front cover verso and an unused postal card, addressed to the Libreria M. Bretschneider, is laid in. Tall 16mo, with a double-page floor plan of Villa Adriana at page 174. Signed by the author "with the author's best respects" to a resident of the Hotel Michel, whose name appears above the inscription. The author provides a guided tour of Rome for tourists, including information on restaurants, hotels, etc. A few pencil checks in the index, otherwise unmarked. The spine appears to have had some restoration, the center signature is a bit protruded, and the paper is moderately toned. As stated, the rear cover is lacking. Of prime interest, besides the signature of Reynaud, is the fact that the book is dedicated to Rodolfo Lanciani, the legendary archaeologist who spent much of his time working in Rome. Reynaud was a member of the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland and evidently acquainted with Lanciani. Reynaud's few books are uncommon, rarely seen signed.
