Romantic castles and palaces, as seen and described by famous writers;
An 1901 anthology edited and translated by Esther Singleton for Dodd, Mead & Co. in New York, gathering descriptions of European castles and palaces by well-known writers, aimed at general readers and armchair travellers. The halftone plates show exteriors from a distance — turreted châteaux above rivers, arcaded courtyards, terraced gardens — with soft grey tonal range and clear silhouettes useful for cut-out shapes and backdrops.
