Its companion text includes an essay surveying the life and career of Richardson by James F. OGorman, the leading scholar of his work, which provides context to the drawings, together with additional essays that discuss the organization of Richardsons studio in Brookline, MA, and his personal approach to a wide network of clients as well as an overview of the Richardson archive at Harvard.With its curated selection of 450 drawings, meticulously reproduced to reveal the design process and hand of the architect, this book is a revelatory exploration of Richardsons work, work that set American architecture on a new course and exerted a global influence on the birth of modernism.Henry Hobson Richardson: Drawings from the Collection of Houghton Library was selected for the Classical America Series in Architecture by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art
