Overview: The Mascarons of the Late Empire & Other Studies is a sewn hardcover book of 82 pages with dust-jacket, silk ribbon, endpapers and a full-colour frontispiece. Edition limited to only 100 hand numbered copies.Contents:i. A Walled Garden on the Bosphorusii. The Mascarons of the Late Empireiii. A Lantern for Carpathiaiv. The Atelier in Iasiv. About the StoriesIn the afterglow of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, in a city at its furthest edge, a young scholar hopes to finish his study of the mascarons, the stone masks, carved on its grand buildings. His tired eyes seem to see features from his sketches in the faces of some of the passers-by in this liminal place. In a story of transition and loss, we share in the strange visions and new tensions of a forgotten era. When an artistic Englishman receives an invitation to a private view at an atelier he does not know, on a card marked with a stark symbol, he decides he will investigate. What he finds introduces him to an art he had never imagined, and the experience of a lifetime. This enigmatic story is likely to resonate in the reader’s mind. And in a walled garden on the Bosphorus, a League of Nations official meets a Frenchman who devotes his time to studies of all the sects of the old Ottoman Empire. Through the streets of Constantinople, he searches for evidence of their beliefs. At last, he introduces his acquaintance to those he has found the most elusive of all. A new collection from Mark Valentine is always a good reason for celebration. Just think how lucky you are - the first person you come across with a Passport Levant in his pocket is also the only one who matters.
