Der Schweizer Holstyl. In seinen cantonalen und constructiven Verschiedenheiten. Vergleichend Dargestellt mit holzbauten Deutschlands. [in two uniform volumes] Chalet Style. GLADBACH Ernst [15876]

Der Schweizer Holstyl.

Published: Zürich, Cesar Schmidt,
Date: 1882.
Description: Coloured frontis, iv, 30pp, incl 78 engraved figs + 38 single-sided plates, many in colour; ii, 36pp, incl 86 figs + 23 engraved b&w single-sided plates. Boards, linen spines. 42x31. Edges of boards a trifle worn, end papers a little foxed, a nice bright set with excellent plates.
Notes: An important pattern book, which did much to identify Swiss chalet architecture as a distinct vernacular and make it popular as a house style in Switzerland and well beyond. [It continues today!] Regional Swiss variants in the style, as it evolved in response to Alpine conditions, especially heavy snowfall, are described. Scarce, particularly as here complete [the fine colour plates in vol I have often been removed from sets].
