In this first stage, we can offer you a wide variety of pre-published latest releases. Undoubtedly, “The legend of the Holy Face” is one of the jewels included in our catalogue; it is a magnificent codex kept at the Vatican Library, with whom we publish jointly this work of art included in the collection “Codices et Vaticanis Selecti, Series Mayor”.

The Atlas by Abraham Ortelius (Theatrum Orbis Terrarum) and the Civitates Orbis Terrarum are two XVI century works which complement each other. Our meticulous editions of the first Atlas and the first book which contained maps and views of History cities will be also complementary, although they can be purchased separately.

Finally, we have decided to include in our publishing programme a book which dates back from a very later date than the ones mentioned before, but it surprised us due to its outstanding beauty and special characteristics. This book is “Artistic and Monumental Spain”, an exceptional illustrated work of art by the most important painter of the Spanish Romanticism landscapes, Jenaro Perez Villaamil. The magnificent illustrations of the most beautiful places in Spain were the reason why the clever booksellers of that age did not bind most part of the books in order to be able to sell each of the illustrations separatedly. The prose of the author of the text, the writer and journalist Patricio de la Escosura, is worth being mentioned due to his accurate and historically well-documented work.
