Description: Cleveland, Ohio; J.H. Jansen. 1928.First Edition, Folio, pp. 223, 40cm.Frontis, B/W photos throughout, some illustrated with floor plans. Beautiful dark red calfskin boards with gilt stamp on front and spine. Lettering is a bit dulled, mostly on the spine. There is visible "rubbed" areas on back board. Light foxing along edges. Tasteful, art deco bookplate on fpd, Glossy stock paper brings out the photos and illustrations to be crisp and clear. "The glistening rough-cast stucco walls, the glint of red tile roofs, the splash of brilliantly colored awnings, a liberal use of colorful decorative tiles and wrought-iron combine to give us a Mediterranean architectural expression that looks remarkably well and is eminently appropriate t a luxuriant setting of palm trees and oleander. Like sunny villas upon some enchanted island in a summer sea, these residences make the most pleasant retreats from our northern winter cold. To be sure, often the patios of these houses are, in the lazy, sultry days of summer, given over to scarlet flamingoes who fly up squalling at the intrusion of a visitor, but as winter retreats they are delights and stand as interesting examples of this new Mediterranean movement."
