This English 1918 edition is one of 270 numbered copies on hand-made paper, stamped as number 21 (another numbered run of 20 were produced on luxury hand-bound paper). A extraordinarily lavish proposal for a united single international government. A short appendix at the rear comprises an excerpt from John Culbert Faries' 'The Rise of Internationalism'.

First Edition. 47 x 34cm. Large folio hardcover in original gilt-decorated green cloth, xv + 102pp. Lavishly illustrated with fold-out engravings and photo-lithographs. An unusually ambitious visionary proposal for a vast imaginary centralised zone for world communication and world peace, containing a grand harbour with sculptures, an Olympic Centre of Physical Culture, a Music Conservatory, a School of Fine Arts and Museum of Casts, a Fountain of Life, etc. The architectural aspect was overseen by urban planner Ernest Hebrard. The project was to be located somewhere on a western Atlantic coast. The author sets out the philosophy thus: "from the beginning of time centralisation began, and it is legitimate to believe that to the end of time it will continue. Despite prejudice and war, suffering and bloodshed, an irresistible force ever draws men to a deeper understanding of a common aim. An invisible guiding hand unites all peoples by fraternal bonds of a grander sympathy. The memory of the lives that in the past courageously and faithfully gave their energy to the divine mission of unification, stimulates the desire of men to move in unison." Sporadic areas of quite heavy foxing, some offsetting between illustrations, otherwise tight and bright, and externally very well preserved.

Paris, Philippe Renouard, 1913. In-f° max. (47x34) di pp. (8)+XV+102, con grande vignetta al frontespizio e alla dedicatoria, numerosissime illustrazioni nel testo incise in eliografia e XXIV tav. fuori testo (alcune ripiegate su doppio e triplo foglio). Bella legatura tela editoriale verde con grande titolo, e riquadri in oro ai piatti e al dorso. Esemplare con barbe, su carta pesante, ma con fioriture diffuse nel testo. (8371) Edizione inglese di questa rara e lussuosa monografia (ne esiste anche una traduzione francese), impressa a spese degli autori e mai posta in commercio, dedicata ad un progetto di "capitale mondiale" da creare ex-novo in una zona da definirsi; il progetto, ideato dal danese H. C. Andersen, all'epoca domiciliato in Roma, e dagli architetti francesi Ernest e Jean Hébrard, ispirato da ideali di cooperazione internazionale tragicamente naufragati con lo scoppio della Grande Guerra, non ebbe praticamente diffusione alcuna e l'opera ebbe una ristrettissima circolazione tra gli amici dell'autore. Nelle idee di Andersen una delle possibili localizzazioni di questa "capitale mondiale" avrebbe potuto essere la vasta area tra Roma e il litorale di Ostia, come dichiarò Andersen il 5 giugno 1913, dopo aver incontrato il Re: "la città potrebbe anche sorgere ad Ostia, potrebbe congiungere Ostia, il centro della civiltà latina, al mare" (cfr. P. Orlando, Alla conquista del mare di Roma, pp. 339-40). Nel 1918 gli autori ripresero l'idea, riproponendo un "Centro Mondiale di Comunicazione" con nuove edizioni in inglese e in francese dell'opera (stampate a Roma), accentuandone gli aspetti di utopia politica, ispirandosi ai principi internazionalisti del presidente Wilson, ma la loro proposta non ottenne maggiore successo. Questo progetto utopico è concepito nella sua interezza: vi sono definiti i piani urbanistici, disegnate le strade, i palazzi, i parchi, i giardini; vi sono descritte ed illustrate persino le statue ed i monumenti. La parte architettonica è curata da Ernest e Jean Hebrard con la collaborazione di numerosi assistenti, mentre la parte storica è di George Leroux.Di particolare bellezza il panorama generale di questa "città ideale" e le altre grandi tavole fuori testo, impresse lussuosamente in fotoincisione.Hendrik Christian Andersen (Bergen, 1883 - Roma, 1942), sebbene nato in Norvegia, visse quasi tutta la sua vita a Roma, dove morì, a soli 59 anni. Com'è noto non riusci mai a realizzare il progetto di quell'immensa "Città mondiale della Pace", che vive ormai soltanto nei disegni visionari ma dettagliatissimi del grande volume in-f° qui descritto, Creation of a World Center of Communication, scritto assieme agli architetti francesi Ernest e Jean Hebrand, impresso a Parigi nel 1913 a spese degli autori, e mai posto in commercio.
