'In the three cities of Cordova, Seville, and Toledo, in which the hand of the Moor touched nothing that it did not beautify, I have found the supplement to the art wonders that I attempted to describe in my book upon the Alhambra. I havae followed the course which I therein adopted, of making the letterpress subservient to the illustrations. While immersed in authorities, and tempted often by the beauties of the scenes to indulge the desire to emotionalise in words, I have never permitted myself to forget that my purpose has been to present a picture rather than to chronicle the romance of Spanish-Morisco art.' Preface. Bellísima iconografía con reproducciones tomadas de importantes obras incluso Monumentos Arquitectónicos de España, The Latin Byzantine Monuments of Cordova, J.C.Murphy - Arabian Antiquities of Spain, y Owen Jones. El texto en papel mate, las ilustraciones en papel satinado.Palau 40 464. Creswell 316.
