A photographic survey of Spanish architecture of all styles. Photographs of the Baroque, Churrigueresque and Moorish periods taken have been omitted since those styles have little or no application in the architecture of today. "...these photographs give a good general idea of the variety and delightful charm of the minor architecture in this region (Spain), and are... quite typical of the country as a whole." (author). The some 200 b/w photographs depict farm houses, city houses and public building with a separate chapter on architectural detail. Binding with light wear along edges. Previous owner's name stamped to front endpaper. Very good condition. Item #56068
