Book First Edition Signed
Condition: Fine in fine dust jackets. First edition. Inscribed first printing of this massive and lavishly-illustrated pair of volumes that trace the wide stylistic variety of the LA homes of the rich and famous from 1885-1935, from Henry E. Huntington to Mary Pickford and beyond. Los Angeles, a "grand urban enterprise undertaken by the region's oligarchic business community" (introduction), is a physical manifestation of the American Dream. The concentration of wealth in this area has created an architectural playground, from which new trends have emerged and influenced the field internationally. This luxurious two-volume set features the works of LA architects including Gordon B. Kaufmann, Wallace Neff, and Roland E. Coate. Two volumes, 12'' x 9''. Original orange cloth boards. Original unclipped (no prices) color pictorial dust jackets. Orange ribbon markers. Illustrated in black-and-white and color, with several fold-out plates. 386; 392 pages, including indexes. Inscribed by Watters to half-title pages of both volumes, "2008 / To Andre / Enjoy." Jackets with a hint of edgewear. Sharp and bright.
