About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1910. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very strong Very Good, quite close to Near Fine. 1910 First Edition and First Printing. See scans and description. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1910. 'How to Know Architecture: The Human Elements in the Evolution of Styles', by Frank E. Wallis. Octavo, deep green textured cloth boards with gilt imprinting on front cover and spine and with ornamentation in blind stamp on front cover, as well; frontispiece with tissue guard; 333 pp. ( 6 + 327). Replete with illustrations - 117 of them - those being black and white photographs and finely-executed drawings. See scans. Very Good, and not far from Near Fine: modest wear at spine ends, corners barely touched; front free endpaper bears the 1910 signature, in flowing india ink script, of the presumed original owner of this first printing example. Contents fine, with a very low degree of page edge toning outside. See all seven scans. Many reprints are available, but this original work of scholarly architectural assessment is scarce. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course; not a bag. Box 202
