FIRST EDITION AND BEST ISSUE OF WHAT SOME WOULD ARGUE IS THE FINEST BOOK EVER PRINTED CONCERNING EARLY FLORIDA ARCHITECTURE. The Introduction, by Ida Tarbell is an excellent work, beautifully crafted, and a wonderful description of Mizner as man and architect. As is written, '[he is a] man that won't be stopped in getting what he wants for his work. No tiles? Mould them over your thigh, build a kiln, bake them yourself. No bricklayer? Teach [someone]. Your furniture falls apart? Go across the sea for the wood you want and peg the parts together. No blue that suits the scene? Mix one--and so it goes, and if there is no one to build a chimney properly or plaster to suit one's need or mend the pipe, do it yourself. To know these things and to be able to show others how to do them is as much a part of your profession as planning, designing, adapting. Only a man mad for beauty and one who was too a pioneer and an adventurer could have worked his way to the place Addison Mizner has taken in Florida. He is what he is by inheritance as well as by giving free reign to that inheritance. His love of beauty comes down through.Sir Joshua Reynolds himself--his great grand-uncle. As for the pioneering and adventuring.for generations before him [his family] have rarely let a chance for either, or both preferably, escape. His work in Florida is a pioneer work--"our last frontier" the Floridians call their land--and it is an adventure--a rare one--an adventure in creating the particular lovely things that will give full value to the charms of a lovely land.' Ida Tarbell.
