Description

This work is a truly remarkable portrait of ten real castles in history. Stephen Biesty's world-renowned illustrations combine grandeur of scale with breathtaking detail.

Together, they recreate the real lives of castles as never before. Castles featured: Chateau Gaillard, Windsor, Krak des Chevaliers, Caernarfon, Bodiam, Castel Sant' Angelo, Chambord, Tower of London, Osaka and Neuschwanstein. - from Amzon
