Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Featuring 32 new photographs and freshly updated with travelers' information, this full-color guide covers all 21 historic missions of California, destinations that attract a steady stream of admirers throughout the year. Established by Spanish friars, built by native Indians, and preserved by historians, the missions are enduring testimony to the faith and craftsmanship of the Golden State's inhabitants over the years. The Missions of California pairs Melba Levick's excellent photography with back story by Stanley Young for a complete tour of each mission, from sun-kissed Mission San Gabriel to stately Mission Dolores. Visitors will want to remember every detail of the lofty bell towers, carved saints, ambitious altarpieces, and more. With this artful tribute, they can.

Evaluation du vendeur :

Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : New. Melba Levick (Photographer) (illustrateur). First Edition, 4th Printing. BRAND NEW Copy. Illustrated cover (Bells of Mission San Gabriel)/Fine. Architectural history and photographic essay of the 21 California missions that grace and mark the major roadways along the coastline from San Diego (1769; first mission built) north to Solano beyond San Francisco. These beautiful outposts were, at once places of worship, refuge for weary travellers, and forts manned by soldiery in the name of the Spanish Empire -- a unique partnership between the Spanish Crown's quest for dominion, trade and riches, Franciscan padres interested in souls, and the manual skills and labor of Indian converts that gave rise to viable economic centers, and, extraordinary architectural forms of great beauty. Illustrated with outstanding photography. N� de r�f. du vendeur 002593
