About This Item
New York: William Morrow & Company, 1936. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Number 616 of 666 copies. Monumental study of the early Dutch houses in New Jersey, on Long Island and Staten Island and in Rockland County, New York, prepared under the auspices of The Holland Society of New York. In his introduction, President Roosevelt writes, "The architecture, the decorations, the furniture of our early settlers have a very definite relationship to the arts of today. It is true that our modern life calls for conveniences unthought of in seventeenth century New Amsterdam; but the charm of line, the judgment of location and the spirit of simplicity of the homes of our ancestors are all a good influence on a civilization which to some of us seems to be reverting to the more humble and honest ideals." Thick quarto: 612 p. with 171 plates reproducing photographs by Margaret de M. Brown. Original blue cloth-covered boards over an orange cloth spine with gilt titles. A fine copy in the original glassine wrapper (minor chipping). Housed in a custom blue cloth slipcase.
