Description:
Like its palatial contemporaries Biltmore and San Simeon, Vizcaya represents an achievement of the Gilded Age, when country houses and their gardens were a conspicuous measure of personal wealth and power. In Vizcaya, the authors use illustrations, historic photographs, and narrative to document this extraordinary house and landscape.
Review Quotes: "Vizcaya, long thought of as a wealthy man's folly, has finally gotten the critical consideration it has so richly deserved in this eminently readable book."-- "Architecture in Print"
