First printing (as stated upon copyright page). xx, 172 pages. Hardcover: H 29.75cm x L 23.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed with some soiling, toning along spine and flap folds, light bumping at spine ends with minor chip at heel, 5cm tear ascending from heel of front flap fold into front panel's lower right, several other short closed tears at edges; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. White cloth with black lettering to spine and front board. Light foxing to edges; strong foxing to several initial and rear leaves but with only scattered occurrences to primary text pages which, overall, remain quite clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy in a very good- dust jacket. With black endpapers illustrated with a section of an 1834 topographical map by Charles Zimpel delineating the Esplanade Ridge, frontispiece, Dedication by Leonard Huber, Foreword by President of the Friends of the Cabildo Elizabeth Pharr Moran, b/w photographs, maps, plans, illustrations, elevations, Epilogue, Selected bibliography, and Index. Although houses were built on lower Esplanade Avenue as early as 1810, most were constructed in the 1830s or later, and hence many residences along the avenue's thirty-three blocks feature classic Greek Revival or Italianate styling. As summarized on the dj: "Bound along its entire 3.3 mile length by historic neighborhoods - such as the Vieux Carre, Marigny, Treme, New Marigny, and faubourgs St. John and Pontchartrain - the majestic avenue anchors a unified type of architecture: double-level brick or frame side-hall houses, galleried, with extravagant millwork, plaster, and marble mantles, and opulent interior decor." THE ESPLANADE RIDGE had the smallest print run among all eight books in the series and was never re-issued in cloth (i.e. the first printing is the only clothbound printing) and thus hardcover copies are quite uncommon. {Shelf#5} Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller.
