Descripción

'One Hundred Years Of Swedish Consulae Representation In Cyprus By The Pierides Family.' 1892-1992. In English and Swedish. Apparent First Edition (NAP). Once listed, this will be the Only copy of this book for sale anywhere on the Internet. You can see the covers in the photos. They are in very solid shape, one tiny nick at the bottom edge of the front cover. There is some amber spotting off the front middle and bottom edges. That is also the case coming up a little ways from the bottom edge of the spine. The top half of the rear cover has a slightly darker hue than the bottom half. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I don't see any spotting, any soiling, anywhere. They are also nicely white and bright, not toned. The illustrations of the art begin on page 47 and can be seen on every page through to page 124. That's followed by a three page Bibliography. All the illustrations are in excellent condition. There is a crease off the bottom corner of the two bibliography pages. There is also a teeny tiny semi-crease just off the tip of the bottom corners of some later pages. There are no placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. From Wikipedia: 'Ancient Cypriot art refers to all works of visual art originating from Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean from c. 10,000 BC to c. 330 AD. During this period, various types of objects were produced such as domestic tools, weaponry, jewelery, and decorative figurines. This range of art attests to the blend of both native and foreign influences of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome as they successively occupied the country. Artworks produced in ancient Cyprus incorporate almost all of the mediums of visual art worked on in ancient history including terracotta, stone, metals, glass, and gemstones.'.
