First Edition Hardback. The arts of Renaissance Venice teem with sea creatures. Chief among these are mermaids and mermen, graceful hybrid beings human from the waist up, but with the lower body and tail of a fish, dolphin or sea serpent. Other sea hybrids-horses, bulls, panthers, even an elephant-also swim through Venetian art in finned and fish tailed forms. These wide-ranging sea creatures are bought together here as bearers of various messages related to their Venetian setting. The pictorial dust jacket is in a good clean condition and shows very little wear. Not price clipped. Underneath lie black cloth boards in excellent condition with bright gilt titles to the spine. The pictorial endpapers show no book plates or inscriptions while the rest of the pages appear unread. Beautifully illustrated throughout. pp. vii + 273. Overall a very good copy.
