New York: 1929-1932 -- Reaching for the Sky: Drawings and Prints

Roanoke, VA: Allied Arts Guild, 1992. Boards. Near Fine/Near Fine. Mark Freeman. INSCRIBED BY THE ARTIST MARK FREEMAN on the half-title. A very solid copy to boot of the 1995 1st edition. Clean and Near Fine in a crisp, Near Fine dustjacket, with very light spotting along the front panel's edges. Oblong folio, 60 drawings and 18 prints, all executed by Mark Freeman in the late 1920s and early 1930s, comprise the visual contents of this collection. All "faithfully reproduced by the patented Stonetone process, which produces remarkably accurate facsimiles of the originals". A superb facsimile of an uncanny record on paper of New York's dramatic architectural ascendancy in the late 20s and early 30s.
