ARCHITECTURE The International Competition for a New Administration Building for the Chicago Tribune cover title: Tribune Tower Competition

192311036Chicago: The Tribune Company 1923. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Large quarto 103pp. followed by 281 full-leaf plates. A crisp clean lovely copy about fine with the rear inner hinge just starting and two tiny and inexplicable tape mends to a rear blank. Touch of foxing to the edges. In the publisher’s notoriously fragile burlap binding with absolutely no repairs. In the rare dust jacket about fine with a few mild scrunches to the crown but no notable tears or chips. In what appears to be the publisher’s original box with hand-written title. Box with a number of partial cracks and some tape mends but still rather sound and complete. A very important volume of architectural history as this 1922 competition drew contestants from some of the most innovative firms in the field all of whom were working just after the widespread use of steel frame technology which allowed for the safe construction of buildings more than a few storeys tall. Among the entrants were Eliel Saarinen whose design was perceived by many to be the best Walter Gropius Adolf Loos Bertram Goodhue and many others. The winning entry conceived by Howells and Hood still stands today; an imposing neo-Gothic skyscraper at 435 N. Michigan Avenue. When the book is found in commerce it is almost always rebacked as the fragile burlap binding was absolutely no match for the heft of the coated paper used for the nearly 300 plates. Similarly burlap bindings have a tendency to destroy dust jackets which is why we’ve only even encountered one other copy in a jacket. As this copy was hardly ever taken out of its box it has been spared the seemingly inevitable fate of its brethren. An important volume of modern Architectural history genuinely rare in this condition. The Tribune Company hardcover

I thought I probably had read all the books that would be on their list but they have rung in 7 or 8 on me." Boldly signed in full in black ink at the conclusion.
