Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.
The manor house at Hex, known locally in Belgium as Castle Hex, was built around the end of the 18th century by the then Prince-Bishop of Liege, Francois-Charles de Velbruck, as a summer residence and hunting lodge. The house is built in a style transitional between rococo and classical, with the gardens combining French formality with an English-style landscaped park beyond, to make a truly Arcadian setting. Here, the development of the house and grounds is revealed from its inception, through the wars and upheaval s of the 19th and 20th centuries, up to the present day. Large format. Green cloth boards, gilt titles. Colour photos. 223 pages including index. ISBN: 9789061537465. A lovely copy.
