Description: London, Architectural Press 1951 lxxxii adverts etc, 62pp, many bw photos, some colour etc 31x25, wraps. Spine a bit chipped, good thus. Main article is on the design of railway carriages (illustrated by a truly extraordinary windowless restaurant car apparently designed in all seriousness by the Southern Railway in 1938 - the reviewer describes it very well as making the traveller feel as if they have climbed into the tin from which the meat in your sandwich had emerged...); other articles look at domestic architecture in New Zealand, the High Victorianism of Castel Coch, and a modern factory in Rio de Janeiro.
