George B.Post, Architect: Picturesque Designer and Determined Realist - Landau, Sarah Bradford

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; This volume offers a chronological presentation of the career of George Browne Post (1837-2913). Acknowledged in his lifetime as the "father of the tall building in New York," Post designed a great number of buildings of various types, including hospitals, banks, and city and country houses, as well as skyscrapers. Illustrated almost exclusively with archival drawings, photographs, and impressive color renderings, this book captures the spirit of the architect who described architecture as "the most exact, exacting, and comprehensive of the arts."
