{"product_id":"venezia-serge-simonart-9789463887502","title":"Venezia: An Evocative and Atmospheric Photo Book, Brimming with Antiquarian Treasures","description":"This love letter in photographs to the unique beauty and mystery of Venice is an evocative compilation of vintage photographs, prints, and ephemera. It is a tactile ode to the sensuality of the city, filled to the brim with all manner of Venetian memorabilia: 19th century photographs, engravings, hand-colored magic lantern slides, vintage postcards, old luggage labels, keys from long-lost luxury hotels, golden ducats from the 18th century, Carnival ball invitations. With gilt-edged pages and antique Venetian lettering, it is not a travel or walking guide, but an atmospheric pilgrimage that pays homage to this ever-fascinating city. Serge Simonat's engaging commentary on Venetian history and culture introduces each subject with affection and insight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"Every day, a nervous traveller visiting the City of Doges for the first time asks the best way to get to their hotel. 'The shortest or the most beautiful?', I once heard the concierge at Hotel Des Bains ask. The tourist who opted for the most beautiful route is still wandering around the city. This is a unique photobook in which to wander and lose oneself.\"\u003c\/i\u003e - Serge Simonart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Serge Simonart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463887504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463887502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannibal Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Serge Simonart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097140797695,"sku":"9789463887502","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1bcf441-bdcb-4c68-bf94-9f50d8796556.jpg?v=1787804623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/venezia-serge-simonart-9789463887502","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
