About This Item
Ediciones Mexicanas, 1951. Cloth. Very Good +/Very Good. The 1951 1st edition, in both Spanish and English. Solid and VG+ (light creasing running toward the inner hinges) in a bright, VG example of the uncommon pictorial dustjacket, with light chipping --and several small closed tears-- along the top-edges, and very mild soiling to the panels. Tall quarto, crisp black-and-white plates. Introduction by the architect Enrique Yanez. (From Yanez's Introduction: "The present book is the first of a series in which it is proposed to show various aspects of our contemporary architecture. Most of the illustrations in this work have been taken from the material selected by the National Institute for Fine Arts for the First Exhibition of Contemporary Mexican Architecture. Both the exhibition and this book have the same object, and are the result of a logical desire that a movement we believe deserving of recognition should be better known. The houses here represented fall within the period 1930-1950, two decades during which there seems to us to have evolved a truly Mexican architecture, modern and at the same time national.").
