Summary: The English-born architect of the United States Capitol under Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820) set a bold stamp on 19th-century American architecture with such works as the Bank of Pennsylvania and the Baltimore Cathedral. A pioneering engineer as well, he designed the nation's first comprehensive steam-powered waterworks in Philadelphia. The first two volumes in the series, these gorgeously produced books comprise 11 journals written between 1795, when Latrobe arrived in America, and 1798. They are supplemented with selections from his sketchbooks and correspondence, and his "Essay on Landscape," an illustrated guide to elementary watercolor (reproduced in color). A delight to read and a joy to examine. Illustrated with Latrobe's own watercolor sketches and handsomely printed, the Journals should be a welcome addition to the libraries of not only those who collect Americana but who enjoy the discovery of Man's inexhaustible capacity to find meaning and pleasure in all of life's experiences. 3 Kg.
