   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) KateSavage | Mar 29, 2019 |   ) realbigcat | Jan 23, 2018 | ) RandyHarper | Jan 16, 2014 | There are 111 color illustrations in the books. My one complaint is that some of these, particularly of whole rooms, seem to be rather small. Since they are frequently reproductions of paintings and sketches, it is difficult to believe that the originals are that tiny. The book includes an index and bibliography. Great choice for a look at this famous palace. (  ) PuddinTame | Oct 18, 2009 | The current edition of the guide includes a photograph of the wedding of The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. From the building of the castle to the restoration of the 1992 fire, you are taken through the time of the Norman period, the Medieval expansion, the Tudor Windsor era, and then to the present House of Windsor. With many drawings and photographs, you are shown public rooms, state apartments, semi-state apartments, gardens, and many paintings. The guide was very helpful in labelling my own photographs from the visit. If you are going to visit Windsor Castle or want to see how the other half lives, by all means purchase this delightful guide. (  ) memasmb | Jul 23, 2009 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
