The images are rounded out by an essay on the history and development of the art of Ottoman Turkish tiles contributed by Dr Walter B. Denny, a noted American scholar and expert on Turkish art. 32.5 by 41 cms, 190 pages (102 full-page color plates, 3 fold-outs). Clothbound and presented in a slipcase.
