Organized chronologically through the Romantic styles of the mid-19th century, the book provides stunning examples from each period and region, ranging from modest frontier cabins to sumptuous state capitals.

Stein (Author) Thomas Jefferson was, by any reckoning, one of the most remarkable men ever to have crossed America's political stage. In 1776 he drafted the Declaration of Independence, and throughout the Revolution and in the posts he held thereafter - governor of Virginia, minister to France, secretary of state, vice president, and president - Jefferson's responsibilities were enormous and his accomplishments profound. Yet during those years he also was able to design his own house, Monticello, the magnificent Palladian mansion in central Virginia, and later to establish the University of Virginia and to plan its principal buildings. s for contemporary art, Art Déco, and abstract art. The books cover topics such as furniture, home decor, and fine arts, making them a valuable addition to any home library for those seeking historical and artistic insights. Publisher : Harry N. Abrams Publication date : May 15, 1993. Print length : 464 pages. Item Weight : 5.3 pounds
