Published to coincide with an exhibition of Davis's work at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, this book provides the first comprehensive look at one of America's best-known and most influential 19th-century architects. Responsible for some of the century's finest domestic and public buildings, Davis was a skilled interpreter of Gothic, Italianate, and Egyptian Revival styles. An informative introduction and four scholarly essays focus on different aspects of Davis's distinguished career. Most spectacular, however, are the book's 64 color plates, which reproduce the delicate drawings and exquisite watercolors executed by this master architect. This long-overdue volume is an indispensable addition to any architectural library
