Negative Positive
Title: Tiara pron
Review: This is an older book, from 1990, so most of the photos are in black and white. However, since most of the photos are old, they were in black and white anyway. There are some jewels and some paintings shown in color photos, too. It's nice that I haven't seen these jewels reproduced anywhere else (except for a few in Royal Jewels, this book's sequel).It's nice that the backs of some pieces are shown, which are as lovely as the fronts and sometimes include inscriptions. There are paintings and photos of people wearing the jewels. The text and the jewels are on the same page or close to it.There's also a "Where are they now?" chapter, which is interesting, but again, only covers up to the 1980's.I found this book to be much superior to its sequel, "Royal Jewels."Since this book is out of print, I bought a used library copy through "available from these sellers" link.
Is the review positive or negative?
