New York: C.M. Saxton, n.d. [ca. 1848]. Folio. 24 tinted lithographs by Jones & Newman and 24 engraved plates. Modern half calf over marbled boards; final plate with quarter-page loss, foxed, occasional chips and tears throughout. Innovative for its time, this folio-sized home pattern book presents elevations (in tinted lithograph), plans and details of construction and cost for 12 single-family dwellings. Ritch's work went through several iterations beginning with monthly parts issues in 1847 followed by various collected issues through 1864. This copy conforms partially to Hitchcock nos. 1014 & 1015 and was issued circa 1848, before the publisher changed address from 121 Fulton St to 123 Fulton Street in 1850.PROVENANCE: Thomas Stone, carpenter, East Brookfield, Mass, 1879 (ownership inscription on verso of title); William Reese (book-label)REFERENCE: see Hitchcock 1014 & 1015
