‎The Brickbuilder bound volume 1903-1904‎

‎Boston: Rogers & Manson. Good. 1903-1904. Vols. 12-13. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket solid binding but much external wear including fraying at several corners spotting on front cover etc.; internally quite clean and firmly bound with the exception of one loose page. B&W photographs plates diagrams plans etc. Bound volume of 24 monthly issues of this large-format architectural trade periodical approx. 13" x 10-1/2" containing about 550 pages altogether "devoted to the interests of architecture in materials of clay." The publication contains a wealth of information regarding architectural and construction practices of the period primarily in the U.S. although there are a number of features focusing on British architecture and occasional coverage of notable structures in Spain Germany and elsewhere. Designs are presented and discussed for nearly every type of private and public building: single-family homes hotels department stores train stations apartment houses office buildlings clubhouses hospitals churches including Westminster Cathedral in London etc. Many topics are treated in-depth in multi-part articles: "The Planning of Apartment Houses"; "The Business Side of an Architect's Office"; "Hospital Planning" there's a LOT about hospitals; "Interesting Brick and Terra-Cotta Architecture in St. Louis"; "Brickwork on the Pacific Slope" mostly dealing with San Francisco -- before the 1906 earthquake of course; etc. An article on "Brick Architecture in and about Chicago" in the September 1903 issue features photos of several Frank Lloyd Wright houses. As one might imagine there is a great deal of attention paid to "fireproof" construction including several articles of the "lessons learned" variety in the wake of various notable urban fires e.g. the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago in December 1903. Especially notable in this regard is an extensive 52-page report on the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904 issued as a special supplement to the March 1904 issue; it describes and discusses the fire's causes and effects in great detail and is illustrated with numerous "aftermath" photos of various buildings. This is considered the third most destructive urban fire in American history surpassed only by Chicago's 1871 blaze and the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. Indexes to both volumes are bound in at the front. . Rogers & Manson hardcover books‎

‎Architecture French: Tronquois Auguste Architecte‎

‎BÂTIMENT PITTORESQUES: RECUEIL DE COTTAGES VILLAS CHÃLETS BÂTIMENTS DE COMMUNS ET DE BASSE-COUR. ETC. ETC. EXECUTÉS DANS LES ENVIRONS DE PARIS‎

‎Paris: Neuhaus Lith. 1867. Double-spread decorated lithographed title and twenty lithographed line renderings. Folio 50 x 33.5 cm. Contemporary half red morocco and marbled boards t.e.g. The pictorial title-spread lithographed on cream stock; the renderings are printed on gray stock. Trace of foxing to endleaves toe of spine and edges rubbed otherwise very good. First and evidently sole edition of this production showcasing Tronquois' works. Apart from the several plates of detail work the full scale renderings here are of the main or out-buildings of Château de Bethmont; the Orangerie Observatoir et Sallede Bains a Villers sur Marne; Villa à St. Greaien; Batiment de Communs à Marnes; Château de la Chaumette; Chateau de Bethmont and a pigeon house at St. Arnoult. The format suggests this production may have been undertaken as a promotional for Tronquois' services. Stepping across the channel he was commissioned to design the Chateau Impney in Droitwich for which he completed plans in 1869 and this production could conceivably have some relationship to lobbying for that commission. Little information about Tronquois seems to be accessible except for his identification with specific buildings. A scarce work: OCLC/Worldcat locates three copies in France a copy at Columbia and a copy at the V&A; a sixth copy is noted under a separate entry at ETH-Bibliothek Zurich and is curiously assigned a Baudry imprint but other details are sketchy.
