“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.
