About this Item

Signed first edition of this lavish two-volume set tracing the work of the influential Beaux-Arts architectural firm responsible for such landmarks as the New York Public Library and the Manhattan Bridge. From their first commission of the Ponce de Le�n Hotel to their late 1920s New York skyscrapers, Carr�re & Hastings perfectly married classical inspirations with modern elegance. They were "at the nexus of a generation of architects who solidified the ideals of the American Renaissance" (introduction), and helped establish the refined vernacular of monumental buildings in this country. This copy of the comprehensive and attractive two-volume work is signed by all four contributing authors. 12'' x 9''. Original navy blue cloth boards. Original unclipped (no prices) color pictorial dust jackets. Illustrated in black and white with four fold-outs to vol. 1 and three fold-outs to vol. 2. 420; 336 pages, including indexes. Signed by Hewitt, Lemos, Morrison, and Warren to half-title pages of both volumes. In original navy blue cloth slipcase with black-and-white pictorial paste-ons and ribbon pull. Slipcase with a touch of sunning to spine. Tiny bump to rear of vol. 1 jacket. Else clean and tight. Near in near fine dust jackets. Seller Inventory # 46999
