Description:
Paris: Chez l'Auteur, 30 Rue Des Mathurins, 1939. Text in French. This is a very good copy of this portfolio in green paper-covered boards, containing 16 pages of text and notes and 30 photographic plates and 6 hand-colored watercolor plates. The text and plates generally very good, 2 plates with some foxing. The portfolio has some damp marks to the top corners, otherwise very good. This work appears to be a record of the author's collection of architectural elements and decorative art from his many excursions to the Orient. The photos appear to be of the author's own quarters at 30 Rue des Mathurins. A late work of undoubted "Orientalism", it sets out to create an atmosphere of The Thousand and One Nights. The 6 watercolor plates depict a man and a woman in Persian costume, inside the sumptuous dwelling, in romantic, but very chaste encounters. Absolutely charming work. Folio, 13" high X 10" wide. Quite rare among d'Allemagne's works. This book will be securely…

London: John Tiranti & Company, 1927. This is a very good hardcover reference copy with some wear around the edges. Very clean inside and out, but a name in calligraphy on the front cover, and 2 plates provided in very close facsimile. Introductions by James Burford and Rene Herbst. 34 black & white photographic plates. 2 of these plates have been copied in a high quality copier and tipped on to heavy card stock, and then hinged into the binding.

Description:
Berlin: Propylaen-Verlag, 1927. This is a very good hardcover copy in the familiar green paper-covered boards with gilt device to the front cover, and black leather spine with red panel printed with gilt titles. Text in German. This is one of the best one volume surveys of European architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. The work of over 100 architects is surveyed and classified by building types and styles. Profusely illustrated with 25 tipped-in color plates mounted on stiff black paper, and hundreds of black & white photos, plans and drawings. Thumbnail biographies. Index. The edges of the boards are rubbed, the corners a bit worn, but the leather spine is fine with no fraying or fading, or marks of any kind.

The table of contents page has the blind stamp of the well known New York architectural firm Starrett & Van Vleck. 10 1/2" high X 7 1/2" wide, 607 pages. This book will…

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
