Description:
Princeton Architectural Press, 2006. 1. Hardcover. Very Good/Good Plus. Some scuffing to jacket, particularly rear panel. Light bump at head of spine with attendant crease in jacket. Jacket spine damp-stained in several places at tail; cloth itself unaffected. Else fine. Despite wear to jacket, a very nice copy; internals are bright and clean.

Blackburn. Inspection revealed that these were, in fact, no ordinary documents but a unique window onto the life of a distinguished builder and his revered master: Thomas Jefferson. In these extraordinary books, we find Blackburn, at first a young carpenter, engaged in the construction of Jefferson's famed academical village at the University of Virginia. He simultaneously embarked on an ambitious program of architectural study, guided, it… Read more
