Time Well Spent: An American Architect in Europe, 1893

Explore Europe through the eyes of a young architect on the brink of greatness.

In the spring of 1893, Henry Hornbostel—soon to become one of the most influential architects of the early twentieth century—set off on his first European adventure. Armed with a notebook and a sketchbook, he traveled through Spain, Italy, and France, capturing his observations with wit and a keen architect's eye. Time Well Spent presents these remarkable documents in a new, reproduced edition, providing readers with an intimate look at the creative process of a Beaux-Arts architect in training.
