About this Item
Lovely coloured frontis by R. McGrath, 64pp incl 42 b&w illustrations, one colour plate. Boards with gilt motif, vellum spine, 26x22. Nice copy in browned dust wrapper, now protected. Reprinted from AR and based on an address given at the Annual Conference of the British Commercial Gas Association in 1928. Interesting illustrations with gas fires shown in the illustrious setting of RIBA as well as in buildings by Oliver Hill, Guy Dawber, Sir Giles G Scott, Charles Holden et al. Colour plates are of a large music room in St John's Wood heated by placing gas fires in the four corners (no concessions to heating bills in those days). Details of decorated wooden panels by Clive Gardiner also shown. Scarce, especially as here in dust wrapper. Seller Inventory # 29798
