About This Item
Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago, 2002. Fine in fine dust jacket.. Early printing of this lavishly-illustrated assessment of American architect David Adler's elegant buildings, which incorporate a number of historic styles. The prosperity of the Roaring '20s brought Adler's practice to prominence, and he injected unique personalities into all of his structures: "style provided expression, identity, and meaning [...] no house was ever intended to be a literal copy" (31). 11'' x 9.75''. Original black cloth boards. Original unclipped (no price) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color and black and white. 224 pages. Jacket with a touch of bumping to corners. Else bright and sharp.
