Ely Jacques Kahn (1884-1972), a prolific architect through much of the 20th century, is best known for his Art Deco skyscrapers which still dot the New York skyline. His forte was designing commercial structures with colorful and inventive exterior ornament and with deluxe lobbies, themselves masterpieces of Art Deco design. Many of the works from this period, the most interesting of his career and some of the best of their genre, are illustrated in this reprint. New York architects Françoise Bollack and Tom Killian have written an introduction to this work, the only monograph on Kahn published to date. They have added a list of Kahn's work designed between the two World Wars, the first such listing assembled. Included from the original volume is a selection of Kahn's essays from various sources. -- from book jacket.
