First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. Melba Levick (Photographer) (illustrator). First Edition, 4th Printing. BRAND NEW Copy. Illustrated cover (Bells of Mission San Gabriel)/Fine. Architectural history and photographic essay of the 21 California missions that grace and mark the major roadways along the coastline from San Diego (1769; first mission built) north to Solano beyond San Francisco. These beautiful outposts were, at once places of worship, refuge for weary travellers, and forts manned by soldiery in the name of the Spanish Empire -- a unique partnership between the Spanish Crown's quest for dominion, trade and riches, Franciscan padres interested in souls, and the manual skills and labor of Indian converts that gave rise to viable economic centers, and, extraordinary architectural forms of great beauty. Illustrated with outstanding photography.
