Amerika: Bilderbuch Eines Architekten (Inscribed by Erich Mendelsohn)

Berlin: Rudolf Mosse Buchverlag, 1926. Boards. Very Good +. INSCRIBED BY ERICH MENDELSOHN (TO "ALFRED TRETZ"?) on the front free endpaper. A very presentable copy to boot of this 1926 true 1st edition. Solid and VG in its printed mustard boards, with even offsetting along the top 20% of the front panel (and along 5-10% of the rear panel), very light scuffing and rubbing to the boards, and slight bowing to the front cover. Internally very clean, with no writing or markings to speak of and all 77 gravure plates in superb condition. Folio, highly-evocative black-and-white photos by the formidable German architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) of a number of America's great urban centers of the mid 1920s (including New York, Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo). Very uncommon as such, signed in any fashion by Erich Mendelsohn.
