Book abounds with citations from prominent authors such as Walt Whitman John Greenleaf Whittier Owen Meredith John Ruskin etc. Very light bumping to corners of covers. Thin very faint three inch line page 35 from what appears to be blue pencil otherwise very good clean condition. Following the title of the volume is explanatory text that reads: "Being Some Suggestions in Brickwork from the Catalogue of O. W. Ketcham.of Philadelphia." In the Foreword the author writes that the book aims to provide "a few suggestions of what may be accomplished by the use of plain and moulded brick" i.e. molded terra-cotta. Text on title page states: "Printed by Edward Stern and Co. Incorporated Philadelphia 1899 from plates made by the Photo-Chromotype Engraving Co." A handsome beautifully designed and executed publication. The web site of philadelphiabuildings.org address below provides extensive illustrations pertaining to the work of Orman Wesley Ketcham and is well worth a visit.
