Publisher's Synopsis
The Dead Cities Of The Zuyder Zee: A Voyage To The Picturesque Side Of Holland is a book originally written in French by Henry Havard in 1876. The book is a travelogue that describes Havard's journey through the Zuyder Zee region of Holland. The Zuyder Zee is a shallow bay in the northern part of the Netherlands that was once home to many small fishing villages and towns. However, due to changes in the landscape and the economy, many of these villages and towns have been abandoned and left to decay. Havard's book explores these ""dead cities"" and provides a vivid description of their history, architecture, and culture. The book is filled with beautiful illustrations and photographs that bring the region to life. Overall, The Dead Cities Of The Zuyder Zee is a fascinating look at a unique and often overlooked part of Holland's history and culture.Illustrated By Van Heemskerck, Van Beest, And Havard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
