Comments from our editors:
Originally published in 1883-84, Artistic Houses comprised 203 photographs of the interiors of homes of the well-to-do, with a flattering text that called attention to the woodwork, wall coverings, color schemes and other aspects of interior decor.

Today historians consider Artistic Houses the best source of information and illustrations for private houses in major Eastern cities in the early 1880s.

This volume contains all the photos represented in the original two-volume work with text specially written for this edition.
