KRASZEWSKI Józef Ignacy
PAGES FROM TRAVELS 1858-1864
Book II- Italy, Naples, Francya, Belgija, Germany decorated with 70 woodcuts
First printing of the second book [of 2] of Kraszewski's famous account of his expedition to Italy, France, Germany and Belgium. Not only has this account not lost its value and time from the point of view of today's tourist, but it is a monumental work by the standards of the time, leaving other famous accounts [such as Kremer's 5-volume "Journey to Italy"] in the shade. Extremely colorful iconography.
