Synopsis

Drawn from a very rare portfolio, this volume brings together 100 plates illustrating 50 buildings in the lavish, heavily ornamented manner of Beaux-Arts Classicism. Full-page engravings of exterior elevations are paired with facing pages that set out floor plans and a close study of individual elements.

Doors, windows, balconies, columns, cornices and other features are rendered with precision, offering a clear view of decorative choices and construction detail. A focused reference for readers interested in architectural drawing and Beaux-Arts design.
