“Mr. Wigram is an accomplished artist, as distinguished from the
mere illustrator. He catches the inner spirit of things, and is
not ashamed to give his enthusiasm full rein, and an enthusiasm
of this kind is so infectious that the reader shares his joy....
Certainly this is a book to read, admire, and to enjoy.”--_The
Guardian._
“We are deeply indebted to Mr. Edgar T. A. Wigram for placing
before us such a charming collection of picturesque landscapes
and beautiful architectural examples.”--_British Weekly._

Southern Spain or Andalusia is a subject _par excellence_ for a
“colour book.” The names of Seville, Cordova, Granada, and Cadiz
awaken at once visions of the romantic South, of white dazzling
cities, of castle-crowned heights, of Christian Knights battling
with the Infidels. Above all is Andalusia precious to the art
lover as containing those marvellous monuments of vanished
Moorish civilisation, the Alhambra, the Alcazar, and the great
Mosque of the West. The present work vividly portrays its glories
and beauties, and is intended primarily as a souvenir and record
for those who have visited the country and wish to re-create
their impressions. It will also be welcomed by those unable to
visit the places described, as it will help them to realise, if
only at second hand, some of its magic charm.
