Azulejo in Portugal is one of the first comprehensive studies on Portuguese tilework, tracing its evolution from the Hispano-Moorish tiles imported from Seville to the national production of the following centuries, and comparing Portuguese examples with those from Spain and Italy. A reference work in the historiography of tilework, it preceded the major systematic inventory works that followed. Includes a chronology of dated or datable pieces and onomastic and toponymic indexes, as well as indexes of drawings, photogravures, and color extratexts. A carefully produced edition, extensively illustrated in the text and in separate prints, many of them in color and full-page. Esteemed and sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
