First Edition
Binder. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition. Folio, [ff 26]; buckram binder with mylar sleeves; minor rubbing to binder; internally fine. Architect John Carl Warnecke's presentation binder for his vision of new facilities at the campus of City College at CUNY, located on Convent Avenue in uptown Manhattan. Binder. The material includes two color graphs, eleven sheets with photographs of architectural models, and twenty-nine black-and-white or color photos of architectural drawings and plans of how the campus and/or specific buildings would appear. There is also a single xerox sheet from the minutes of the January 26, 1970 meeting of the City of New York's Board of Higher Education in which costs of the 1969 Master Plan for the Development of Physical Facilities are reviewed. The plan called for development of both a "North Academic Center" and a "South Academic Center," though this binder deals only with the former (Schemes 6b and 5a). The models show the two main buildings that comprise the "North Academic Center" and the plans give a floor-by-floor layout of the buildings. John Carl Warnecke (1919-2010), a San Francisco-based architect who championed the Modernist and Bauhaus styles was also a great proponent of 'contextualism' in architecture. While he is perhaps best known as the designer of the JFK Eternal Flame Memorial Grave Site at Arlington National Cemetery, his vision also guided the restoration of Lafayette Square (begun during the Kennedy administration). Among his many celebrated designs is the New Executive Office Building near the White House in Washington, D.C. and several facilities at the US Naval Academy. Warnecke's plans for City College were never realized, probably due at least in part to the city's ongoing financial crises through much of the 1970s.

Seller: Zephyr Used & Rare Books, Vancouver, WA, U.S.A.
Oblong 4to. 11.5 x 8.75 in. [40 leaves (unnumbered).], including 20 typescript explanatory leaves on onion-skin paper, 20 linen-backed silver gelatin photographs, all w/ Union Switch & Signal Co. in lower blank fore-edges, all w/ rounded corners, sized 8 x 10 in. mounted on linen hinges. Original flexible simulated black calf post-binder, ownership name stamped on lower right corner front cover (very slight fraying at fore-edges, slight wear), NF exemplar, from library of Transit Commissioner Chairman, John H. Delaney (1871-1952). This souvenir photo album documents the key switch and signal control systems, power equipment, subway signals, car brake tripper valves and signal systems, and more for the newly opened 8th Avenue IND Subway line in New York running from 207th St. to south of High St. in Brooklyn Heights. George Westinghouse had pioneered airbrake safety equipment revolutionizing rail travel in the 19th Century, and had absorbed and created the Union Switch & Signal Co. in 1881, moving to Swissvale in 1887 where the subsidiary specialized in specifically closed track circuits, and interlocking switch and signal control systems vital for interurbans, subway systems, and other rail lines. This album depicts the large signal control panel, illuminated track indicator, switch operating mechanisms and control valves, tripper mechanisms, signal control cables, apparatus housing, Dwarf subway interlocking signals, and more. In addition, many of the images reveal the newly constructed subway tunnels, control rooms, switching rooms, air compressor plants, and storage buildings. The 8th Avenue line was originated under Mayor John Hylan who pursued an independent subway system, and directed Transit Commission Chairman Delaney to oversee construction and implementation of the line, with most of the line dug using the cut-and-cover method by excavating the street above, and attempting to avoid existing lines and stations. Delaney had begun his career managing the Morning Telegraph and the printing plant owner, and was tapped in 1913 by Gov. Suizer as Commissioner of Efficiency and Economy during the Progressive Era. He proved to be an essential figure in not only overseeing the eventual $ 770 million job of building the IND subway system, but was also key to the eventual unification of the IRT and BMT subway systems, purchased by New York City for $ 326 million.

First Edition
Not Bound. Condition: Very Good. Photography. Over 4000 negatives, most of which are held in Print File archival preservers; a few hundred negatives are in another type of sleeve available at Staples. With 20 contact sheets, which are interleaved at the appropriate location in the album. Many of the sleeves have dates handwritten at top, 1991-1992. The photographer, Ronald Marzlock, used a 28mm lens on a Canon AE1 35mm camera and used it to take many of the photos surreptitiously as a hidden 'hip camera.' This technique seems to be especialy prevalent when used in the subway images. These photographs are available with ownership & use copyright release. The pages are all contained in a single Vue-All Inc. ring-bound box-album. In very good condition.
