Description

This is a very good hardcover copy in the original mustard cloth boards printed in black. Very clean inside and out. First published in 1911, this appears to be the 2nd edition. Printed retail price of 75 cents on the copyright page. This copy owned by Clarence S. Stein (1882-1975), the American architect and city planner, as his signed copy of a leaflet titled 'City Planning 1914', published in Newark was laid in. Inner hinges were weak and have been professionally strengthened with Japanese paper. Color frontispiece shows a view of the proposed development in the center of the city from 22nd Street to Chicago Avenue, looking towards the east, over the Civic Center to Grant Park and Lake Michigan. Illustrated in black & white with photographs, drawings, and elevations, also a number of color maps and views. 10" high X 8" wide, 147 pages.
