FRANCE - LAND OF VARIETY - Lot 93

FRANCE - LAND OF VARIETY Probably published in the 1950s or 1960s for an English-speaking audience. A beautiful tourism promotion album dedicated to France, published in English as part of the postwar development of international tourism. The book offers a broad overview of France’s regions, their historical heritage, landscapes, and traditions. Richly illustrated with reproductions of major works housed in French museums, as well as photographs of monuments and regional views, it serves as an interesting testament to the image of France promoted abroad during the Trente Glorieuses. The decorative cover, adorned with a rose, and the quality of the illustrations make this a representative example of French cultural and tourist publications from this period. Description: Quarto, paperback. Text in English. Numerous black-and-white and color illustrations. Illustrated cover. Signs of wear, stains, and creases from the period.
