Excellent exhibition...excellent book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
After seeing the wonderful "House Proud" exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt, I took a chance purchasing this book, knowing watercolors are particularly difficult to reproduce. What a nice surprise: the reproductions are beautiful, and the text is detailed and extremely informative. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys interiors, fine art, and architectural history.House Proud: Nineteenth Century Watercolor Interiors from the Thaw Collection
