Studies in Islamic Art and Architecture in Honour of Professor K.A.C. Creswell.

Red Boards with gilt print on the front and spine. The verso of Creswell's portrait is signed "Archie Creswell" which I think might be a signature in black ink rather than a printed one, might being the operative word. The articles are in French, English and German depending on the contributor. From the Contents page: K. A. C. Creswell / C. L. GEDDES. - Bibliography of the Writings of K. A. C.
