Seller's Description:
VG. Mulberry-colored cloth over boards; Color illus. dj.; 196 pp.; 15 color plates; 121 bw plates and figures. From the jacket: "...Baltrusaitis creates a remarkable panorama of modern culture. He interweaves the rational with the fabulous--the fable of the beast in man, figurative images in stones, the forest in the Gothic edifice, and whole cultures in the garden--to reveal the ways in which natural phenomena have been read into cultural forms, and vice versa."
