About This Item
Text by Rayner Heppenstall and a Preface by Le Corbusier
The book's main selling point is Lucien Hervé's classic black-and-white photos, first published in 1956, of the Abbey Le Thoronet.

This book is a pictorial appreciation of the abbey, photographed by Lucien Hervé in the mid-1950s and introduced by Le Corbusier.Turquoise cloth hard cover book is in very good clean condition with a little signs of wear around the edges. Previous owner's inscription inside 2nd page in ink dated 1960.
