"THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE GARDENS OF THE SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION"
Color: Brown; Gold
"The Architecture and the Gardens of the San Diego Exposition," by Carleton Monroe Winslow with an essay by Clarence S. Stein and introduction by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, exposition architect, with illustrations by Harold A. Taylor (San Francisco: Paul Elder and Company, 1916), 154 pp. The hardcover book, without a dustjacket, has a textured light brown cover. On the front, in gold lettering, is the title of the work at the top and Goodhue's name, flanked by scroll designs in boxes, at the bottom. The title, Goodhue's last name and the name "Elder" are in gold letters on the spine. Described on the title page as "A Pictorial Survey of the Aesthetic Features of the Panama California International Exposition," the work begins with Goodhue's seven-page introduction describing the exhibition site, San Diego, and the inspiration of setting and history for his choice of architecture. Stein's ten-page essay concerns "The Triumph of the Spanish-Colonial Style," while the balance of the book is Winslow's "Descriptive Notes of the Architecture and Gardens of the San Diego Exposition," with many black and white photographs pasted onto the pages. There is another image so mounted as a flysheet at the front and a list of illustrations precedes the text. Some of the pages, especially at Stein's essay are uncut, indicating that the book has not been read. Except for very minor abrasions on the cover's edges, the book is in good condition.Lexicon
