Architecture of the Old South: Louisiana by Mills Lane, First Edition

About the Item

Architecture of the Old South: Louisiana by Mills Lane. Abbeville Press, New York, 1990. First edition hardcover with dust jacket. The early architecture of Louisiana, carefully recorded in beautiful drawings submitted by the colonial officials to their superiors in France, was designed and built by trained professionals. The province continued to be dominated by French culture, French language and French law long after it was sold to the United States in 1803. While the French continued their traditions, in the areas of the state outside French settlement different architectural styles were brought by settlers from the Eastern states. In the 1830s Louisiana became a cultural battleground between the traditions of France brought by way of the Caribbean and those of England brought by settlers from the Atlantic coast. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
