the Ömer Koç Collection

An essential work of reference and a beautifully produced book.

This is the third volume describing the books on Istanbul from the library of Ömer Koç who has been assiduously acquiring these books, in the finest possible examples, for many years and now has probably the finest collection on the subject in private hands. This volume covers the period from 1851 until 1890 and, as in volumes one and two, is full of bibliographic detail, beautiful colour illustrations and informative descriptions.

4to (35 x 26 cm); 298pp, profusely illustrated throughout with colour and monochrome illustrations, many full page; bound in red cloth gilt, cream dust-wrapper lettered in red and black. NEW.
