About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1932. Cloth. Very Good +. SIGNED BY PAUL FRANKL on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1932 stated 1st edition. Tight and VG to VG+ in its denim-blue cloth, with very light chipping and creasing along the spine label. Otherwise very sharp and, internally, clean as could be, with no writing or markings of any kind. Lacking its original dustjacket. Paul Frankl (1886-1958), a major figure in both the worlds of design and architecture, emigrated from Vienna to The States (to New York) in 1914 and instantly made his mark helping to create a "uniquely American design aesthetic". "In the years between World War I and II he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism."
