Great publication of THE great American architect

Many people don't know who Richard Morris Hunt is. That is a pure travesty when we think about all the accomplishments he has made to our society. For example, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yorktown Monument, just to name a few. Any one interested in architecture or awed by its magnificence should invest in this unique documentation of the education, practice, projects, and drawings of the premier American architect, Richard Morris Hunt.
