New York:  David Williams,

~ (1879) ~

*************************************************

Folio.  vii, 240 pages, indexed at the front.  Hardcover bound in original brown cloth with cover designs embossed in black and titles in gilt.  The binding is worn and bumped but sound.  The front cover shows some damping, but this does not seem to affect the interior.  The inner hinges have been discretely reinforced with matching Japanese tissue (dark brown endpapers), and it is possible the binding had been recased.  Foxing to the title page. The text is toned but generally clean.  Illustrated throughout.  The scarce first year volume of this short-lived monthly journal. (we believe it ran for eight years).

We have recently purchased a collection of architecture books.  Please check out our other listings!
