Described by the publisher as ‘A Love Letter to Italy’s most iconic city’, and arguably Morris’ most famous work, Venice is part historical guide, part memoir, and part essay. Morris first visited Venice during the second world war with the British Army, and for two months was responsible for running all of the requisitioned motor boats out of the city before continuing on with the regiment to Egypt and Palestine. Later, in 1959, Morris returned to the city with her and proceeded to write a further three books on the same subject, as well as countless articles. Increasingly scarce in this condition, the work is sometimes hailed as one of the best ever written on the subject of this Italian city.

A hardcover edition with red cloth boards, gilt lettering and design on the front board. Unclipped, illustrated dust cover that has a piece missing from the bottom third of the spine. There is some slight foxing and toning throughout but the text and black and white photographs and maps are clear and legible. There is some rubbing, wear and some tears to the edge of the dust cover. There is a large tear on the rear of the DJ. Now in a clear, removable cover to protect from further damage.
The Dust Jacket isn’t in good condition but there are few copies remaining with any jkt at all. Most listings are without the DJ. This has been taken into account when pricing.
Publisher: Faber and Faber, London.
Publication Date: Third impression, November 1960.
