Wine shops, fishing boats and quiet bridges sit beside St Mark's and the Doge's Palace in these prints from Venice and its Story, Thomas Okey's history of the city. The 1930 edition was published by J. M. Dent and Sons, with illustrations credited to Nelly Erichsen, W. K. Hinchliff and O. F. M. Ward. The Rialto and the Grand Canal supply the familiar landmarks, while views of the Giudecca, the Zattere and the church of the Salute follow the waterfront. Church interiors, architectural studies and reproductions of paintings and sculptural details from the city's collections complete the picture.
