Hardback. Zustand: Good. Arguably the most beautifully decorated building in the United States, the Library of Congress building (now known as the Jefferson Building) reached its 100th anniversary in 1997 after an eighty million dollar restoration that returned it to its original state. At the turn of the century, Herbert Small, a newspaperman, wrote a guide to the building and its decoration. His text, edited by Henry Hope Reed, is reproduced here. It is preceded by introductory essays by historian and Librarian of Congress Emeritus Daniel J. Boorstin and noted writer Brendan Gill. The planning and construction of the building are detailed in John Y. Cole's essay, followed by an essay on the building as a work of art by Pierce Rice, and discussions of the decorations, paintings, and sculptures by Henry Hope Reed, Richard Murray, and Thomas P. Somma. The volume concludes with a photo essay on the restoration by Barbara Wolanin; a color schema of the building; a glossary of architectural and decorative terms; and a biographical dictionary of all the artists, architects, and designers who worked on the building. Throughout, noted photographer Anne Day's color images enhance this splendid book.…

Color illustrated softcovers. Fine, fresh example. 103 pp. with recommended further reading list. Illustrated with vintage black and white photos and reproductions and contemporary color photos. The Library of Congress is the United States' oldest cultural institution, founded in 1800 by Thomas Jefferson, and today is one of the largest research libraries in the world. Much of the library's collection was lost when the British burned Washington DC during the War of 1812. Afterward, Jefferson offered to sell his personal collection of some 6487 books to the United States to re-establish the Library. Another fire, in 1851, destroyed some two thirds of Jefferson's original books. After the Civil War, the Library secured the right to obtain two copies of every copyrightable book published in the United States and also grew through acquisitions and donations. This work gives a history of the institution as well as descriptions of the collections, the buildings, and the Librarians of Congress through the decades.…
