About the Item
French America By Arielle De La Tour D'Auvergne and Ron Katz 2005 Hardcover.
French America: French Architecture from Colonialisation to the Birth of a Nation is a stunning visual journey through the rich and varied history of French architecture in the United States. The book features over 200 full-color photographs, many of which have never been published before, that capture the beauty and detail of French-inspired buildings from all over the country.
The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different period in the history of French architecture in America. The first part, "Colonial America," looks at the early French settlements in North America and the influence of French architecture on these early buildings. The second part, "The Early Republic," explores the neoclassical revival that swept the United States in the early 19th century, and the many French-inspired buildings that were built during this period. The third part, "The Gilded Age," looks at the lavish Beaux-Arts buildings that were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many of which were designed by French architects.
In addition to the photographs, the book also includes essays by Ron Katz and Arielle de La Tour d'Auvergne that provide historical context and insight into the development of French architecture in America. The essays are written in a clear and engaging style, and they make the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating topic.
French America: French Architecture from Colonilisation to the Birth of a Nation is a must-have for anyone who loves architecture, history, or simply beautiful photography. The book is a stunning visual feast, and it is sure to inspire and inform readers of all ages.
