Synopsis
An architectural historian and a photographer have collaborated on this beautiful collection of photographs, drawings, and text on the 19th-century American architect Henry Hobson Richardson (1836-1886). Richardson has been labeled a "truly American" architect, who was inspired partly by medievalism. A majority of his churches, libraries, and other buildings still stand throughout New England.

Industry Reviews
"The text is a scholarly presentation of Floyd's research, so there is much fresh material here, but it assumes some prior knowledge of Richardson's work and reputation. On the other hand, the pictures manage to convey surprisingly well some of the spatial qualities of the buildings as well as Richardson's seductive use of materials and finishes; the text and illustrations together make a winning combination, so that the book will certainly gain Richardson new admirers."
