Description

This used hardback edition of Leonardo da Vinci by Maurice Rowdon is part of the Great Lives series and offers an accessible biography of one of history’s most celebrated artists, inventors, and thinkers. The book covers Leonardo’s life, artistic development, patrons, and major achievements, making it a good choice for readers interested in Renaissance history, Italian art, and famous historical figures.

This edition includes 230 pages and is illustrated, with a hardcover binding and dust jacket. It works well as both a reading copy and a displayable vintage biography for anyone building a shelf of art, history, or Leonardo-related books. Online catalogue and seller records for this edition consistently show the 1975 hardback with 230 pages and size around 25–26 cm tall.

This particular copy appears to be in good used condition. The internal pages shown look clean and solid, while the dust jacket shows visible shelf wear and small edge damage. That makes it a respectable vintage reading copy rather than a fine-condition collector’s copy.
