"It is hoped that this book may be of influence in the United States where the pursuit of fashions in style and the imitation of strange foreign things, in a cheap and hasty way, has filled the land with curious sights. There is a style on which the best of any country's designs is based, and that is good proportion, simplicity and suitability. This book presents a few examples of this style to be found in France today." Bookplate, owner stamp.

Some leaves with expert restoration to edges, not affecting text or plates; wear to original boards. A very good copy.
