City and suburban acrhitecture

SLOAN, Samuel.  CITY AND SUBURBAN ARCHITECTURE.          

Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1859. Folio. Publisher's cloth. 104 pages, 136 plates, including 62 tinted and 12 in full color. First edition. [Hitchcock, 1188].

This is one of the most attractive American color plate on architect, and one of only a few books on American city houses.  There is particular emphasis on Philadelphia row houses, as well as ornamental store fronts.  The color plates are by L.N. Rosenthal.  The book is quite scarce--not in Bennett or McGrath's works on American color printing.  Moderate foxing.
