An Architectural Pilgrimage In Old Mexico. By Alfred C. Bossom.
First edition - 1924 - 110 Plates. Large & heavy coffee table size book, 11 x 13.7 inches, or 27.5 x 35 cm.
London-born architect Bossom's detailed sketches and commentary, and his wife Emily's fine photographs, were published in 1924 in this handsome book which also includes 18th-century missions in California and San Antonio. Bossom specialized in designing skyscrapers in the United States. Tiled facades, quiet courtyards, gateways, cornices, towers, porches, doors, balconies, windows, and other architectural elements are graphically preserved in this valuable record of classic Latin American architecture . When Bossom returned to America, he became a proponent of Mayan Revival Architecture.
Condition: The cover shows plenty of wear & tear and marks, the interior is very good. Binding is a little loose. No missing or loose pages, no page tears, no writing, no foxing. Small area of page rippling on the first few pages at the top edge, not very noticeable, but worth mentioning.
