125 pages profusely illustrated in black and white. For over a quarter of a century the North Atlantic passage was the ultimate in sophisticated travel. The two great Cunard liners, the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth, the largest passenger ships the world has ever, or will ever see, represented the apogee of that glittering era. Traces with words, photographs and contemporary drawings the stories of these great ships and their competitors, evoking the atmosphere of the grand saloon and chronicling the social history of the life-style that is now but a nostalgic memory.

The story is largely told in the fine collection of illustrations." - Lloyds List. Gift inscription upon second front flyleaf. Average wear overall. Book

Codice Atlantico (Codex Atlanticus). Giunti, Barbera, Firenze, 1976. Il Codice Atlantico è la più vasta raccolta di documenti leonardeschi conosciuti. Alla fine del 1500 a Madrid lo scultore Pompeo Leoni con numerosi fogli e frammenti contenevano la quasi totale produzione intellettuale di Leonardo ha creato una composizione curiosa e spettacolare che rappresenta ogni aspetto del genio vinciano: l’ appassionato interesse per la meccanica e la matematica, l'astronomia, la geografia fisica, la botanica, la chimica e l'anatomia, nonché le arti figurative. Disegni per progetti tecnici innovativi, dispositivi idraulici, armi, fortificazioni, macchine volanti, imbarcazioni e automi, oltre agli studi con annotazioni teoriche e pratiche per L'Adorazione dei Magi, Leda e il cigno, e il Battaglia di Anghiari. Inoltre, al suo interno, i progetti per i monumenti equestri, mai eseguiti, a Francesco Sforza e Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, nonché i progetti architettonici per il rinnovamento urbano di Milano e la residenza reale di Romorantin in Francia. L'opera è composta da dodici volumi, in facsimile, formato 44x65 cm. e dodici volumi di testo (formato 22x30 cm. di trascrizione diplomatica e critica a cura di Augusto Marinoni e un volume contenente l'indice per materie e l'indice alfabetico a cura di Pietro C. Marani ), tutti rilegati a mano in piena pelle, con impressioni in oro sul dorso. Edizione limitata di 998 copie. Condizioni ottime.
