  • dit is de originele gebonden uitgave van de University of Chicago Press (voor de paperback versie van de Smithsonian Institution Press, zie mijn ander zoekertje)
  • This book examines the sustained and organized effort to create in New York a body of municipal sculpture that would express the civic ideal: an urban vision of patriotism, civilization, and good government. It follows the brief movement through its rise and fall, attempting to explain why sponsorship for such civic projects lasted only for a limited time. Dozens of carefully selected photographs and drawings illustrate key aspects of the sculptures and architecture discussed.
