Very Good; soiling to cover, light water marks on one corner of the text block.

The author was landscape architect of public buildings and grounds in Washington DC. He was recognized as making a radical departure from what had been done before his hire in connection with the many small parks in DC. His idea was to make them both striking as focal points of the street system, and there was much personal and livable interest to the many residents of the immediate neighborhood. The one-time idea of laying out each park according to geometrical pattern gave way to the development of walk lines of practical use, recognizing both traffic requirements and the desirability of location for numerous park benches. Trees and shrubs were planted for background and setting, as elements of design and composition rather than individual specimens. This book has chapters on neighborhood parks, recreating parks, playgrounds in parks, decorative use of water, planting design, seats in public parks, utilities, and much more. Scarce; this is our first time offering it. (21292)   $125.00

Stanford White - architectural genius, draftsman par excellence, bon vivant - was one of the most famous personalities in the glittering, often sensational world of Gotham's beau monde in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

A founding partner in the legendary architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, Stanford White designed numerous urban masterpieces, including Judson Memorial Church, Washington Square Arch, Madison Square Garden, the Players, Metropolitan, and Colony Clubs, and now-vanished palazzi for a remarkable list of clients that included the Whitneys, the Vanderbilts, the Pulitzers, and the Stuyvesant Fishes. This amusing, scholarly, and elegant account of White's love affair with, and legacy to, New York City provides compelling evidence in support of the latter view. (21296)   $35.00

The term Lombard architecture refers to the architecture of the Kingdom of the Lombards in Italy, which lasted from 568 to 774 and which was commissioned by the Lombard kings and dukes. Porter was an American art historian and medievalist. His study of Lombard architecture was the first in its class. Rib vaults were invented in Lombardy as a simple device to economize wood. They were adopted by French builders for the same purpose. The same desire to dispense with temporary wooden substructures governed the development of architecture during the entire transitional period, and eventually lead to the birth of Gothic. An important contribution to the study of Lombard and Gothic architecture. (21347)   $125.00
