註釋Over 250 hand-drawn illustrations of entry doors and door surrounds, including hinges, latches, knockers, corner blocks, and transoms, all fashioned after 19th-century engraving plates and many paired with the source photograph reproduced in full color. American Doors is a vast collection of the most beautiful styles from the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries, consisting of entry doors, door surrounds, door hoods, door latches, door knockers, porticos, transoms and fanlights; all from the personal library and collections of Peter Joel Harrison, many never published before. After thirty-two years of research and travel, Harrison has documented hundreds of doors from throughout America, more than eighty-four from historic properties, including post medieval, Dutch, English, French and Spanish Colonial, Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival, all handsomely portrayed. Harrison's drawings are accompanied by a history of the door written by architectural historian Matt Postal and an essay on hardware by Rhett Butler, custom hardware manufacturer.An essential sourcebook for builders, preservationists, architects, educators and students alike. Every drawing is rich in detail that may be imitated or used for inspiration. Each plate is carefully titled with the source or location for reference--a useful aid in regional projects. Informative notes on doors and a glossary of terms complete the text.
