This beautifully produced, small-format book is an illustrated alphabet for children of all ages, produced in a collector's edition of exceptional design and quality. In keeping with the light-hearted spirit of the author/artists' watercolors, the book is rich in color and texture and features boldly graphic endpapers and silk covered boards - a primer on the ABCs for children of all ages. Charlotte Moss, the Manhattan-based interior designer, prefaces the English-language edition. The volume concludes with a richly illustrated essay tracing the development of artist's alphabets from the early Renaissance to the present day. An Architectural Alphabet is limited to 400 copies and is numbered and hand-bound in grey silk, in the Chinese fashion, and slipcased.
