Soft Cover. Condición: Fine. Illustrated by Kathleen Culbert-Aguilar; Michael Abramson Ilustrador. Stated First Edition. First Printing. The Thorne Rooms, sixty-eight miniature models of European interiors from the 16th century on and American furnishings from the 17th century on, have entranced generations of visitors to the Art Institute of Chicago. This charming book showcases these rooms, featuring full-color views of each one as well as eight two-page spreads of some of the most spectacular interiors. The introductory essay by Bruce Hatton Boyer chronicles how Chicago socialite Mrs. James Ward Thorne conceived the rooms. They were made between 1934 and 1940 by a number of skilled craftsmen according to her exacting specifications. Many of the rooms were inspired by specific interiors in historic houses, palaces, and sites Mrs. Thorne visited during her travels, and Fannia Weingartner's individual commentaries provide information about each one. In addition, a number of Mrs. Thorne's original drawings are reproduced to actual scale. This volume is in virtually perfect condition, showing only the slightest shelf-wear, unmarked, unread, tight, square, and clean. FINE. . Color Photographs. Oblong 4to 11" - 13". 168 pp.
