Detailed scholarly commentaries on some 160 works (including numerous architectural drawings and watercolors as well as Romantic landscape paintings and decorative and stage designs) are supplemented by seven substantial essays examining Schinkel's diverse accomplishments, and by recent and prewar photographs documenting an array of buildings and interiors designed by the architect." -- with a bonus offer--; 0.99 x 11.15 x 9.99 Inches .
