Review text:
'Probably no architect in American history deserves the accolades bestowed upon him more than Henry Hobson Richardson. Ochsner has created nothing less than the first complete overview of all of Richardson's known and unrealized designs.'
- Michael Richman, Historic Preservation
'Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886) has held the unquestioned position of one of America's greatest architects for about a hundred years. Yet there have been only three major studies of his work and, until now, no complete catalog. A very model of a catalog is this, invaluable for an architect's library and an architecture buff's delight.'
