GIFT IDEA- for lovers of Wood and Timberframe styles. and Save 66% too! Originally an indigenous dwelling in the Bengal area of India called a bangala, the name "bungalow" was anglicized and applied in England to small seaside cottages and houses. The name and style emigrated from England in 1880 to the United States in the form of vacation lodgings and homes for middle-class Americans, pictured here in vibrant colors, reflecting the warmth and charm of the Arts and Crafts style. As with the other books in this series, Bungalows: American Houses of the Arts and Crafts Style contains 30 different beautifully printed postcards, 4 3/4 by 6 1/2 inches. The subject is introduced with a short essay, and each art reproduction or photographic image is captioned on the reverse side. Keep it as a miniature art book, or tear out the cards and send them to friends (be sure to use a first class stamp, as they are slightly oversized). ISBN:0764909363 Authors:Paul Duchscherer.
