《消逝的帝国》系列画册之一。19世纪中叶起,西方冒险家纷至沓来,英、美、法、德、西班牙都留下了各具特色的建筑,成为一份百年遗珍。随着上海市政建设的发展,一些的老房子不可避免地要被拆除。摄影家尔冬强潜心研究建筑美学十余年,将老房子的身影留存于这三百多幅照片之中,并对其历史渊源,风格流变作了详尽的考证。本书曾连续几周荣登美国图书销售榜,是一本极具收藏价值的精美画册。
Published in 1993.This book provides an evocative overview of Western architecture and expatriate life-style in one of the world's legendary cities. It also includes a 1939 listing of Shanghai's old apartment houses, banks and clubs.
