An Italian Journey
GONDOLAS, Venice (Lith Print)
Despite its precarious relationship with the sea, Venice has survived for more than a thousand years, and for centuries dominated eastern Mediterranean trade. Now heavily reliant on tourism, the characteristic aquatic transport of the Gondola seems certain to survive for many generations to come.
”......I suddenly felt myself as every Venetian does-Lord of the Adriatic-
-Venice can only be compared to itself”.
October 1786
