by Hirth, Georg
Munchen & Leipzig: G. Hirth's Verlag, 1886. Third Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Book. 4to - over 9¾. xii, 452 pp., 370 text illustrations, some full page. This is a classic work on interior design. It is especially strong in the coverage of Gothic and Renaissance styles as interpreted in the Teutonic world, but it carries on to what is known elsewhere as the Empire style and of course the Rococo. Much attention is given to the development of form, as with such things as a chair. Illustrations with Kronleuchte and other decorative elements that are intimately associated with German style abound. VG. Some sunning to spine. A little fraying to cloth around gutter. Slight bumping to corner. Interior clean, age toned. Grubby stain on fore-edge onto rear board, inside, but only affecting a few pages in the most trivial manner. (Inventory #: 000063)
