Description
ONGANIA, Ferdinand (1842-1911). Streets and Canals in Venice and in the Island of the Lagoons. Venice: Ferd. Ongania, 1895-96.

The work was also issued with text in Italian, but the English text was published for grand tourists who visited Ongania's bookship in Piazza San Marco.

Provenance: Sir H.A. Layard (armorial bookplate).
