Binney RAILWAY ARCHITECTURE British Train Stations Illus. 1985 HC/DJ 1st Ed

Description: Railway Architecture, written by Marcus Binney and David Pearce, is a 256 page, 7 1/2 X 9 3/4 inch hardcover book published in 1985 by Bloomsbury Books, London. This is a first (thus) edition: the printing number line starts with "1." The copyright date is 1979, and the book was first published by Orbis Publishing Limited, London. The book is in very good condition in a very good price-clipped dustjacket, with black boards and gilt spine titles. Synopsis - From the dustjacket: "Railway companies were the most extensive patrons of new architecture in the nineteenth century. Style and technique united as the railways sought to combine the prestige and elegance of the new form of travel with innovations in engineering. The railway stations provide a compendium of Victorian eclecticism with styles ranging from Classical, Gothic, Tudor, and Jacobean to cottage orne and vernacular revival. Engine sheds, bridges, viaducts, and the villages built by railway companies show the same attention to detail and the same combination of functional and aesthetic." The book is illustrated with more than 200 black and white photos and includes an appendix of stations that lists dates, styles, and architect names. Condition Details - The book has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no marks, tears, turned down page corners or writing. The cover has light edgewear, no soil or stains. The textblock edges are clean. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has rubwear and light edgewear, no soil, chips, or tears. No unpleasant odors. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
