Cousins, Frank, b. 1851, Riley, Phil M. (Phil Madison), b. 1882 · 1916 · Boston, Little, Brown, and Company · 152 pictures

A 1916 architectural monograph by photographer Frank Cousins and Phil M. Riley (Little, Brown, Boston) documenting the Salem carver-architect Samuel McIntire's houses and interior woodwork for architects, antiquarians, and collectors. Halftone photographs record doorways, mantels, cornices, fanlights, stair halls, and china cupboards in raking daylight, giving designers measurable Federal ornament: rosettes, dentil bands, fluting, urns, and swags.
