With bright, clean pages and photographic plates, only the slightest marginal toning to a few preliminary leaves.

Profusely illustrated with photographic plates of residences, churches, civic buildings, gardens, and commercial structures, including work by George Washington Smith, Myron Hunt, Soule, Murphy & Hastings, Ross Montgomery, and other leading California architects.
