Beschreibung
4to. Pp. 436. Index. Illustrated throughout with drawings, some in colors, and black & white photo reproductions, some tipped in. Bound in faux leather black cloth, color embossed illustration, a la Rockwell Kent, on cover and spine. Color illustrated endpapers. Owner signature on front endpaper is that of John Rupp, the distinguished Seattle lawyer and civic leader. Features a photo essay titled Silver Days at Washington by Asakichi Kunishige, Known as Frank Kunishige, the Japanese-American photographer was a founding member of the Seattle Camera Club. During WWII Kunishige was incarcerated at both Camp Harmony and Minidoka. One photo captures the recently-completed Suzzallo Library, the best building on campus, the construction of which caused cost-overruns that, ostensibly, caused the dismissal of both Carl Gould, founder of the University's School of Architecture, and the University president, Henry Suzzallo. Gould's design for the library emphasized the triumph of science and learning over age-old religious hokum. As an example, watermarks of early printers are featured in stained glass in lieu of Christian iconography; statues of scientists and thinkers occupy niches in lieu of saints. Such subversion didn't sit well in Olympia, where the state budget was doled out. An elaborate graphic production, well-preserved. . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5359
