1994150690New York: Rizzoli 1994. Hardcover. VG-/Good overall shelfwear to dust jacket with small tears. Black boards with gilt letters on spine black & color illustrated dust jacket illustrated flyleaves 424 pp. 420 color illustrations. Presented here are thirty-two notable buildings and their estates that represent a characteristically English combination of architectural splendor and domestic comfort. This chronological selection presents a panoramic history of the evolution of the great house from Elizabethan through Edwardian times and up to the present ongoing battle for preservation. Acknowledged architectural masterpieces as well as lesser-known houses represent the work of Inigo Jones Sir John Vanbrugh Nicholas Hawksmoor and Robert Adam among many other celebrated architects. The photographs specially taken for this volume show the familiar as well as the unexpected. In addition to splendid state rooms grand exteriors and gardens there are photographs of private rooms and servants' quarters. These illuminating photographs offer access to the houses from an insider's point of view presenting contemporary homes rather than museum interiors. The informed text combines architectural and social history with the individual stories of the great families and the houses they created where their descendants in many cases still live today. Full of memorable characters and anecdotal insight this book is a glorious tribute to what Evelyn Waugh in his preface to Brideshead Revisited called "Britain's chief national artistic achievement."- dust jacket.

1943WRCLIT75412Washington Providence Montauk etc. 1943. Thirteen pages on six quarto and octavo lettersheets one folded to quarter panels. Three in ink one in pencil. Folded for mailing otherwise fine accompanied by two envelopes addressed in his hand hastily torn open at one end. Four substantial boisterous opinionated and occasionally inebriated letters from Flagg to Willis Birchman addressed variously as "Kid" "Country Gentlemen" "Dear Temperamental Meringue" and "Will Bill" who became one of Flagg's frequent correspondents as a consequence of Birchman having featured Flagg in his 1937 book FACES & FACTS BY AND ABOUT 26 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS. One letter 4pp. in ink on letterhead of the Providence Biltmore consists of an account of a rather Cutty Sark driven meeting with "Cecil" likely film star Cecil Humphreys with whom he had a long association. Another letter 4pp. written on letterhead of Montauk Manor at Montauk Beach is in pencil and opens with an attractive pencil drawing of a beach scene with cars parked and facing out over the ocean; it relates chiefly to the circumstances of his stay at Montauk and is signed "Cap. Kidd." Another letter 4pp in ink on letterhead of the Hotel Raleigh relates to events surrounding a vague series of meetings in Washington DC involving representatives of the Australian and British governments stops at embassies a meeting with Sumner Welles etc. The last letter dated simply Friday 2pp. in ink is somewhat diffuse but mentions a pending trip to Washington and meetings there perhaps anticipating the stay mentioned in the letter above. Flagg 1877 - 1960 was in his time one of the most prolific and popular of American artists and illustrators. His best known work was one of the most widely distributed recruitment posters for the US military: the iconic image of Uncle Sam captioned "I Want YOU for U.S. Army" unknown books
