Description from the seller

# The History and Topography of Holland and Belgium – George Virtue, undated, covers 204 pages

Beautiful historical and topographical work on Holland and Belgium, written by Professor N. G. van Kampen and translated into English by William Gray Fearnside.

The edition is illustrated with fine steel engravings after drawings by the English artist W. H. Bartlett (1809–1854). The images show historic cityscapes, monuments, buildings and landscapes of the Netherlands and Belgium in the nineteenth century.
