An important work by Paul Frankl (1886-1958) that looks beyond his well-known work in furniture design to encompass both the architecture and interior design style then known as Art Moderne era, later to be known as Art Deco. Frankl rode the Art Moderne wave, but one can see from this publication how he was beginning to adapt that streamlined style to one that evolved as the Depression waned and the war in Europe began to build. This copy is inscribed by Frankl below his frontispiece portrait, "To George Neville in true/friendship/Paul T Frankl"
