Romantic castles and palaces
An illustrated anthology of translated descriptions of European castles and palaces, edited by Esther Singleton and published by Dodd, Mead in New York in 1901 for general American readers interested in travel and history. The plates are halftone photographs of chateaux, fortresses and country houses seen across lawns, moats and terraces, giving designers grainy architectural silhouettes, turreted rooflines, mullioned facades and soft tonal landscape backgrounds.
