ventilation warming buildings principles designed (2 Ergebnisse)

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good +. First Edition. A tight, well-preserved copy of the scarce 1889 1st edition of this self-published examination of early ventilation and the heating of buildings. Solid and VG+ in its dark-green cloth, with dozens of elaborate steel-engravings, a number of them in rich color -- or chromolithography. Quarto, 153 pgs. of text, in addition to the original marbled endsheets and pastedowns, as well as the original tissue-guard separating the lovely engraved frontispiece (of Isaac Smead) from the title page. A deeply-impressive late 19th century engineering catalogue, highlighting the latest advances in heating and ventilation.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good +. First Edition. The uncommon 1889 original printing, including a 66 pg. booklet ("A Partial List of Buildings Warmed and Ventilated by the Smead System -- With Some Official Reports from Boards of Education, Committees, Etc."). Solid and VG+ in its dark-green cloth, with just a hint of light soiling to the panels and discreet former owner stamps (one at the title, one at the half-title) and signature (at the front pastedown). 13 lovely chromolithographed plates --in vivid color-- complementing the text as well as a number of striking steel engravings. Quarto, very impressive late 19th century company catalogue and history.
