Roadside America Architectural relics from a vanishing past = Architektonische Relikte einer vergangenen Epoche = Reliques architecturales d'une époque disparque

John Margolies

Book - 2010

"Before the advent of corporate communications and architectural uniformity, America's built environment was a free-form landscape of individual expression. Signs, artifacts, and even buildings ranged from playful to eccentric, from deliciously cartoonish to quasipsychedelic. Photographer John Margolies spent over three decades and drove more than 100,000 miles documenting these fascinating and endearingly artisanal examples of roadside advertising and fantasy structures, a fast-fading aspect of Americana"--From publisher description.
