Some Architects' Portraits in Nineteenth-Century America

Some Architects' Portraits in Nineteenth-Century Americaaf James F O'Gorman
Bag om Some Architects' Portraits in Nineteenth-Century America

This is the first study devoted to the portraits of nineteenth-century American architects. It is an examination of the way the iconography of such images changed over time to reflect the changing social status of the architect as the profession evolved during the century. Portraits in oil on canvas, drawings, and photography in the text range from Charles Willson Peale's image of William Buckland in the late eighteenth century to John Singer Sargent's portrait of Richard Morris Hunt in the late 1890s. The book has been praised as "a unique use of visual resources, supported by formidable primary research and a thorough analysis of secondary literature." Illustrations.
