Guide Book to the Tiled Pavement of the Pennsylvania Capitol

In 1908, Henry Mercer wrote and published at his own expense this guidebook to the various tiles and mosaics in the Pennsylvania Capitol so that visitors could read and appreciate the work as they strolled through the corridors and the great rotunda. Each mosaic had a significant story to tell and Mercer thought the story of the tiles and his own artistic intentions had to be communicated. Unavailable for many years, this newly reprinted guidebook is a useful tool in understanding the history of the Keystone State, as well as a record of this very important architectural masterpiece.Henry Chapman Mercer is the author of 'Guide Book to the Tiled Pavement of the Pennsylvania Capitol', published 2001 under ISBN 9780964304840 and ISBN 0964304848.
