Description
Rome, published in London in April 1905, pairs paintings by Alberto Pisa with text by M A R Tuker and Hope Malleson. The twelve chapters were written for this volume, though parts had run in magazines. The authors say so much has been written on Rome, good, bad, and indifferent, that fresh ground is hard to find.
They present the city as they know it from long acquaintance, and above all from its people of the old school and the new. Chapters cover Roman building, the catacombs, the Campagna, and the Roman household. Others treat princely families, religion, and the cardinal, then Rome before 1870 and the Roman Question since. The book belongs to a series of large, handsome city volumes that A and C Black issued for travellers who wanted more than a guidebook.
