Our copies are in very good condition. (There is a stamp with the name and adress of the first owner, a Ghent architect from that time, and a sticker of the bookshop where the books were bought, probably in the 1950’s, on the first page of each volume – charming details).
Text by Jean Gallotti, 160 black and white drawings in and out of text by Albert Laprade.
Gallotti reviews all the details of the construction and decoration of the garden and the house, to which superb plates provide the support of the most significant illustrations. A. Laprade, architect and garden decorator, has given nearly 200 drawings to explain all the secrets of Arab constructions. 136 heliogravure plates are based on photographs by Lucien Vogel, Félix, Vve P. R. Schmitt, G. Faure and Canu.The schematic drawings on Arab art in this work constitute valuable study documents. IN FRENCH!
