«Venise» is the illustrated travel book by Théophile Gautier, published by Editions de l'Amateur in paperback (158 pages, in French).
The volume brings together the passages Théophile Gautier devoted to Venice in his «Voyage en Italie» (1850): a journey through the city's canals, squares and monuments, described with prose attentive to light and architectural detail. The edition is completed with period photographs that fix the visual memory of nineteenth-century Venice.
The book appeared in 2008 in the Sépia collection of Editions de l'Amateur; the texts come from «Voyage en Italie», a work by Gautier published in 1850.
For those who enjoy nineteenth-century travel literature and historical images of Venice.
Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier was a French poet, dramatist, novelist, journalist, and art and literary critic.
