G+ (Outer spine is faded; bookplates & few marks from previous library; some pages remain uncut; opening frontispiece and tp are loosening; otherwise quite clean and nice to the touch. ) Fuchsia cloth, 191 pp., 140+ BW illus. "The aim of the writer has been...to furnish the reader with a full equipment for a knowledge and understanding of American furnitutre, the appropriate interior, and its decoration; to place before him a large body of illustrations, carefully selected, reproduced with especial clearness, and of a size showing construction and ornament....By the practical method here adopted of illustrating and treating the furniture of each style by itself and in proper chronological order it becomes easy to distinguish the characteristics of each furniture-group, and so quickly to 'place, ' by the recognition of those qualities, any piece of furniture that one sees." (foreword) Perhaps this was a tall order, but Mr. Holloway appears to have achieved it. Nice for browsing.
