"Venice: The Anthology Guide" is the sixth edition, completely
updated, revised and reset, of Milton Grundy's perennially fresh
classic travel guide to the city. It is unlike any other guide, for
it conducts visitors round Venice using the observations and
opinions of famous writers and art historians to enlighten them.
Among the people it quotes are Vasari, Ruskin, Berenson, Wittkower,
Dickens, Henry James, A.J.C. Hare, Otto Demus, Ernst Gombrich,
Michael Levey, Cecil Gould, Hugh Honour, James Morris and Alan
Bennett. It includes thirty new colour illustrations, twenty of
them by Sarah Quill, the renowned photographer of Venice. The book
divides Venice up into seven walks and four excursions, with eight
clear maps, so that people can see the maximum number of sights
they wish to in a limited time. Its coverage of Venice's rich store
of paintings and sculpture is as full as that of its unique
architecture. Most of the illustrations - Sarah Quill's apart - are
taken from old engravings and paintings, and, like the text,
provide a fascinating historical perspective on the present day
versions of the scenes and buildings they represent.
