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.

<p>This book provides a fascinating look at the unique home and creative genius of Henry Chapman Mercer. In 1908, renowned tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer, a key figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement in the U.S., turned his genius and artistic talents to planning and constructing Fonthill, a "castle in concrete." Fonthill served as Mercer's residence and a personal museum for his decorative tiles, prints and artifacts from 1912 until he died in 1930. More than 100 pages of text, abundant photography, and previously unpublished illustrations, sketches and comments from Mercer's own construction notebook, give readers a wonderful appreciation for Fonthill and Henry Mercer. Twenty color photographs (of 56 total) combine with architectural cross sections for each level of Fonthill to highlight the innovative design, artistic detail and decorative tile work that comprise this American architectural treasure. This book shows why Fonthill, one of the best late-Romantic buildings in America, has been designated a National Historic Landmark and featured on television in an award-winning episode of "America's Castles."</p>
