Estella Canziani — an Anglo-Italian painter trained under Byam Shaw — travelled through the mountain valleys of Savoy, the borderland of France, Switzerland and Italy, recording in paint the costume, songs, festivals and beliefs of a peasant world already passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fifty colour plates after her pictures make the book both an ethnographic document and an Arts-and-Crafts-era object in its own right, of the kind she would continue in her more famous Piedmont (1913).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003exiv, 179, [1] pp. With fifty reproductions of the author's own pictures and line drawings. Quarto, blue cloth stamped in gold, red, white and green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood, honestly described: rubbing at the extremities, rear joint starting and rear hinge cracked, some soiling to the cloth and internally, a few plates creased.
