Illustrated survey of colonial furnishings as they appeared in their colonial interiors. The last four plates in this volume show houses or interiors from Portsmouth, NH and Newburyport, MA. The bookplate shows that this volume was donated by the wife of architect Michel M. LeBrun. Napoleon Le Brun & Sons (the sons being Michel and his brother, Pierre) won the commission to design the new Home Life Insurance Company building in Manhattan, a building on the frontier of the "skyscraper" era in New York. A common title in academic libraries but scarce in the marketplace. Includes Title-page, Introduction sheet, Contents sheet (printed on both sides) listing 63 plates, and the plates themselves.
