Abstract
This paper analyzes a very unique photographically illustrated edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s THE MARBLE FAUN (1860). When the novel was first published in England & the United States, there was no illustration. But soon the English-speaking tourists found the book useful as a guide to the city of Rome & a very special edition with photo images gradually emerged. Its appearance was closely related to the background of the story, the Italian book-sellers, the travelers from the English-speaking countries, & the popularity of photo images. The tourists could actually take part in the meta-creation of the book, & the booksellers were more than glad to rebind the book for them since they can reap substantial profit from such undertaking. What is surprising is that the practice lasted almost fifty years & the number of such rebound books was beyond counting; it is a very rare phenomenon in the history of book-making. This study shows that the buyers of such illustrated editions were actually playing the double roles of tourist/reader, substituting the text with the visual arts they came to appreciate in Rome. It also involves the tourists' personal choice & interpretation of the text/ image.
