    Description

    Beautiful tour book for Delft, an ancient city of 100,000 in the Netherlands that is a popular tourist destination, noted for its beautiful blue pottery and well preserved city center, as well as the home of Baroque Period painter Jan Vermeer, the home base for the noble House of Orange-Nassau (stretching back to the 1500’s, including the current Dutch royal family) and the home of the Prestigious Delft University of Technology.
    Book is entitled “Delft in Pictures” and features a colorful map of the city center on the opening pages, a description of all the major buildings and sites and concludes with page after page of pictures (black & white) of the exceptionally photogenic town. (From Uitgeverij Elmar, circa 1965)
