190320404Boston: Rogers & Manson. Good. 1903-1904. Vols. 12-13. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket solid binding but much external wear including fraying at several corners spotting on front cover etc.; internally quite clean and firmly bound with the exception of one loose page. B&W photographs plates diagrams plans etc. Bound volume of 24 monthly issues of this large-format architectural trade periodical approx. 13" x 10-1/2" containing about 550 pages altogether "devoted to the interests of architecture in materials of clay." The publication contains a wealth of information regarding architectural and construction practices of the period primarily in the U.S. although there are a number of features focusing on British architecture and occasional coverage of notable structures in Spain Germany and elsewhere. Designs are presented and discussed for nearly every type of private and public building: single-family homes hotels department stores train stations apartment houses office buildlings clubhouses hospitals churches including Westminster Cathedral in London etc. Many topics are treated in-depth in multi-part articles: "The Planning of Apartment Houses"; "The Business Side of an Architect's Office"; "Hospital Planning" there's a LOT about hospitals; "Interesting Brick and Terra-Cotta Architecture in St. Louis"; "Brickwork on the Pacific Slope" mostly dealing with San Francisco -- before the 1906 earthquake of course; etc. An article on "Brick Architecture in and about Chicago" in the September 1903 issue features photos of several Frank Lloyd Wright houses. As one might imagine there is a great deal of attention paid to "fireproof" construction including several articles of the "lessons learned" variety in the wake of various notable urban fires e.g. the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago in December 1903. Especially notable in this regard is an extensive 52-page report on the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904 issued as a special supplement to the March 1904 issue; it describes and discusses the fire's causes and effects in great detail and is illustrated with numerous "aftermath" photos of various buildings. This is considered the third most destructive urban fire in American history surpassed only by Chicago's 1871 blaze and the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. Indexes to both volumes are bound in at the front. . Rogers & Manson hardcover books

19391509Buenos Aires 1939. Very good. 22 leaves with twenty-one original photographs each 7 x 9 inches plus interleaved plastic guards. Oblong folio. Spiral wire bound plastic and synthetic boards with decorative wire edges. Light wear and soiling at boards edges. Occasional light soiling internally. Photos crisp and clean mounted directly to leaves. An attractive presentation album promoting the opening in 1939 of Falcon & Cia. the Argentinian distributor of Myrurgia a Spanish perfumer and cosmetics manufacturer. Falcon & Cia.'s offices were located at 743 Juncal in the same block with the iconic Palacio Estrugamou a monumental and elaborate example of Parisian residential architecture in Buenos Aires. By contrast the modernized headquarters of Falcon & Cia. are somewhat more functional but still reflect a sleek Art Deco style. The present album mostly showcases the renovated interior with modern open offices and architectural details with Deco furniture and design elements. The lack of ornamentation on the columns windows and floors reflect the contemporary international style and perhaps also the economics of this period at the end of the Depression just prior to the outbreak of World War II. This was also a time during which Spanish companies like Myrurgia expanded into South America in order to develop new markets and to manufacture their products locally thereby avoiding the chaos of their Civil War. A neat and scarce photographic document of architectural style in Argentina in the late 1930s. Not in OCLC. books
