Originally published by Morgan of Chicago in 1921 as Building with Assurance, HOMES AND INTERIORS OF THE 1920'S is a reprint of the second edition of this classic restoration design guide (1923). It comprises the complete catalogue of Morgan Woodwork Organization house plans, architectural elements and social advice. The publishers previously issued THE VICTORIAN DESIGN BOOK which included a range of 1900's designs drawn "from a culture experimenting with new woodworking machines, sales distribution systems, and social structures etc." But World War I changed this and as each of the above-listed elements emerged from the war effort more technologically or socially advanced, and time-tested, demands and standards changed. "This catalogue of parts and taste was the catalogue of postwar America and as such, it, and others like it, greatly influenced a major portion of America's existing housing stock. With more than fifty full-color depictions of houses with plans and descriptions. Book itself is just about fine, and the dustjacket has minor shelfwear. A beautiful book which plumbs the soul of postwarAmerica through design and vision. Scarce. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 63082
