Reviews
On Apr 24 2014, Jw468 said:
This particular reproduction of the Wasmuth Portfolio appears to be the closest to the original of those that were published in book form. This book is the largest, although still reduced from the original size, and the original numbering of the plates is maintained. The only shortcoming worth noting is that the paper used to produce this book is somewhat translucent; however, like the original, the plates are printed on one side. Two traits that will irritate some readers is the separation of the plate descriptions from the plates themselves and the use of German terms in the drawings to describe features; there’s a brief glossary of terms preceding the plates. There are 22 numbered pages and 100 numbered plates that are printed in sepia tone. Drawing types, from most to least frequent, are: floor plans, exterior perspectives, interior perspectives, detail drawings, sections (very few), and elevations (also very few). All of the drawings are hardline. Most projects and buildings are covered with at least one exterior perspective and floor plan.
