Slight wear at base of spine; mild rubbing at bottom board edge; slight thumbsoil to endpapers, else internally clean, tight and unmarked; Very Good to Near Fine overall, lacking the scarce dustwrapper. Neat ownership signature in pencil to front pastedown ("R. De Joannis"). An appropriately lavish monograph describing the design, construction, and details of this lavish mansion, constructed in 1922 for Arthur Emlen Newbold, Jr., scion of a prominent Philadelphia financier. With what strikes us as a remarkably self-regarding introductory essay by the principal architect on the project, Arthur Ingersoll Meigs.
