Old Touraine; the life and history of the famous chateaux of France
Theodore Andrea Cook's two-volume travel history of the Loire valley chateaux, published by Scribner in New York in 1893 for English-speaking tourists and readers of French history. Halftone photographs show castles across moats, lawns and courtyards, paired with pen-and-ink line drawings of towers, spires and Romanesque arcading useful as architectural silhouettes and building details.
