Title: DECORATIVE ELEMENTS IN ARCHITECTURE. Random Observations on the Eternal Fitness of Things from a Decorative Point of View.
Description: New York. John Lane Company, 1917., A lovely book, on nice paper. May have been a library book in the past, as there is a faint mark in the middle of the title page, on the top corner is a number E3164 still faintly visible, probably where someone tried to bleach it out ? There is possibly the mark where a ticket pocket used to be, on back endpaper. Otherwise the condition is clean and tight, with no tears. 152 pages. 99 black & white photographs ( sepia ?) of beautiful old furniture, interior designs, clocks, tapestries, wrought iron, stained glass, carved wood etc. Top & bottom of spine worn & bumped. Top edges of pages are gold, dark green spine and paler green cover with elaborate design of wrought iron grill work in gold with dark green lettering. 9½" x 6½". 1917
