Repertoire De L'Architecture Moderne

Paris: Bonadona, 1930. Portfolio. Very Good +. Impressive 1930 portfolio of 56 loose collotypes, as issued, each produced by Catala Freres of Paris. All plates (collotypes) crisp, bright and very clean, all documenting "sanatoria" and hotels catering to recovery. Collected by Gabriel Guevrekian (1900-1970), chief architect of Tehran from 1933-1937 and eventual Architecture professor at University of Illinois. The plates are all housed in a printed red and gray chemise, with its original red ribbon-ties fully intact and publisher's import label affixed to the front panel. The chemise is solid and VG, with light wear along the spine and very mild scuffing to the panels.
