This volume is a beautiful reproduction of a portfolio of engravings of the most famous sites of Moorish architecture. Granada - home to the glorious palace of the Alhambra, the haunting ruins of the Vermilion Towers, the verdant gardens of the Generalife - captures the imagination today just as it did 150 years ago. Some of de Prangey's engravings show grand panoramas of the city against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Others are record drawings of the most intricate architectural details. These are complemented with many engravings of palace courtyards, bath-houses and patio houses, in which people in full Spanish dress give a vivid impression of the period. In addition, cross-sections, plans and elevations give detailed and accurate information about the Alhambra complex.
