ARCHITECTURAL RECORD

Architectural Record: Various Issues from 1924 to 1926, bound in four volumes

New York, FW Dodge Corporation 1924-26 c.1000 pages, including many bw and colour illustrations, many advertisements. 26x19, four uniform quarter-bound blue and yellow cloth, pasted labels on spines. Cloth faded and a bit grubby, sketches by previous owner on some endpapers, contents generally very good (although note that there is no coherence to the order of journals, and it is very difficult to be sure exactly which issues have been bound in: there are 20 front covers bound into one volume, and all articles are generally bound in the correct order and complete - advertisements appear to be randomly inserted with no reference to page numbers at all.) Assorted issues of Architectural Record from the mid 1920s, bound almost at random into four volumes: one can only imagine what had been going in the library bindery that day, though it might be possible to rebind in some sort of coherent order! Lots of interesting articles and well produced photographs, on architectural projects large and small in the United States and beyond. [nb heavy item, will require additional postage to some destinations].
