An evocative vintage photographic guide to the Belgian city of Ghent, titled Gent Gand, België Belgique and published locally by Van Doosselaere.
This compact 39-page softcover booklet contains numerous black-and-white photographs, both within the text and on separate pages, together with a detailed monochrome map. The multilingual content gives the publication particular cultural interest, presenting the city through both its Dutch and French identities.
The booklet is in good vintage condition. The cream-coloured cover displays small age-related spots, light surface marks and gentle wear consistent with its considerable age. The spine remains satisfactory, while the interior is notably fresh and very well preserved.
Sourced from an eighteenth-century Portuguese manor house, this is an appealing piece of European travel history for collectors of Belgian memorabilia, historic photography, maps and early tourist publications.
Two identical copies are available and are sold individually. The advertised price is for one booklet only.
