Folio 455 x 322 mm bound in publisher's tan morocco. Paris: P. Renouard 1913. Rare first edition of this vision of a utopian world city. Andersen was born in Bergen Norway and emigrated as an infant with his family to Newport Rhode Island. As a young artist he mingled among Newport's wealthy elite and spent some time as Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's art teacher. At the age of 21 Andersen travelled to Europe eventually settling in Rome. There he pursued his artistic interest in monumental classically inspired pieces believing that they stimulated in the viewer a desire for self-improvement. He devoted much of his time designing a perfect 'World City' filled with art which would motivate humanity to achieve a near Utopian state. The present work is the culmination of his theories and may be seen as a precursor to later modernist visions such as Le Corbusier's Ville Contemporaine 1922. The book is in two parts. The first deals with the history of the city and monumental architecture and seeks inspiration in classical and contemporary notions of city planning - Paris and Washington DC feature prominently. The second part details Andersen's imaginary urban landscape complete with works of art for the 'World City'. Olympic stadia galleries for the arts and sciences as well as government buildings are all outlined and placed upon a defined grid plan with an emphasis on a grand central avenue acting as the axis of the city. Number LV1 of only 75 copies on Japan paper. There were also 125 copies on Velin. Binding with a little wear and some sun fading overall near fine. unknown books
