1996 Hardcover An incredible array of photos and essays about the days when "Streamlined" was the wave of the future. The focus is on vehicles, but this book is a MUST for any fans of "Art Deco" design or the "Streamline Moderne" era. This beautifully laid out and presented book is a great supplement to the standard works on this era by Meikle and Bush. It is a joy to read and simply to browse...repeatedly! As a design professional, I thought I was familiar with the streamlined era - wrong! Page after page, I was delighted to discover something new and amazing. You owe it to yourself to get a copy of this book, it's an eye-opening tour filled with fascinating visions. Beautifully designed testament to the great age of machines. Cool swoopy trains planes cars and airships. Mostly B&W but it doesn't matter. You won't regret it. Seiten: 291 30 x 21,6 x 1,8 cm.
