Kornwolf, James D.; Phoebe B. Stanton (general editor)
Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1972. Hard Cover. This is book number two in the series The Johns Hopkins Studies in Nineteenth-Century Architecture. This is the first biography of Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott (1865 - 1945), designer of houses and furnishings. Scott's designs were popular throughout Europe and America during the late 1800s / early 1900s. His drawings and papers were destroyed during World War II so historians have found it difficult to study him. In this biography Kornwolf relies on previously unpublished material in addition to German, Austrian, American, and English art journals. This book includes over 250 illustrations of designs by Scott and his contemporaries for houses of varying sizes, furniture, textiles, stained glass, and interiors. Very good in turquoise cloth boards with gilt title to spine. The edge of the front board is covered in paper with a turquoise illustration of swans meandering down a river. Very light fading to spine and light rubbing to edges. Signed by the previous owner in pen on the half title page. In a very good turquoise dust jacket with white title to spine and front panels. The edges of the jacket have minor wear including a short closed tear to the front top edge. There are two small scuff marks to the spine of the jacket and an old price has been written in pen on the front flap. Index, 588 pages. DEC/081010. Very Good in Very Good Dust Jacket.
