Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. Boston and Toronto: Little, Brown and Company, 1975. Hardcover. Large octavo, xix, 453 pp. Original navy-blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, in the original illustrated dust jacket; publisher's price of $15.00 retained on the front flap. A handsome first edition of Maher's richly illustrated survey of five extraordinary American estates of the Gilded Age and early twentieth century: Whitemarsh Hall in Pennsylvania, Ca' d'Zan in Sarasota, Vizcaya on Biscayne Bay, the Huntington estate in San Marino, California, and Shadow Lawn in New Jersey. Combining architectural, decorative-arts, social, and family history, Maher chronicles the creation and eventual fate of these lavish private residences, built during the decades between World War I and the Great Depression. An especially useful reference for collectors and researchers in American architecture, Beaux-Arts design, historic preservation, Gilded Age society, estate architecture, and the work of the Horace Trumbauer office, including architect Julian Abele. The volume contains 137 black-and-white illustrations. Maher's account of Shadow Lawn has also been cited in research on Abele and the estate's architectural history.
