[122] pp. Registration and Dedication Pages left blank, 2 vignettes on the title page, list of the missions by date of dedication, what follows are a series of 25 openings with descriptive text on the versos, tissue guards, and a Kaloprint image on the rectos (text facing illustration) of Father Serra, the mission buildings, manuscript documents, and Indian survivors of the missions; text clean, unmarked. Blind- and gilt-stamped brown leather, this copy has been neatly re-backed with brown cloth that matches the leather; binding square and tight. Laid in are 3 ephemeral pieces from the Bureau, including a typed note on Bureau letterhead telling how to have an ancestor's portrait mounted on the dedication page, a small bi-fold "Value Received" which details the benefits of membership in the Bureau, and a certificate that states that Sonya Carlson Doud, is a sustaining 5-year member of the Bureau, SIGNED by Sherman Danby. CYG512-005. Very Good. LIMITED EDITION of 1,000 copies. The California Landmarks and Historical Records Bureau, Inc. was incorporated in 1931 as a California non-profit organization. Its purpose was to gain legislative and public support to preserve "the romance" of California by passing laws for historic preservation, and marking of historic landmarks. It hired newspapermen Sherman Danby (who SIGNED Sonya Doud's certificate of membership) and Frederic N. Shovey as Director and Publicity Directors, respectively. It was headquartered in Sacramento, but its Southern California Office was in the Douglas Building in Los Angeles; it began by organizing prominent women in Southern California, and then made an organizing tour of the state in 1932. One of its benefits of membership is this volume extolling the Romance of El Camino Real, with its pictures of the California Missions. The Bureau actually assumed the care of several missions, and in 1933 was able to secure Federal Assistance in reconstructing certain missions when the National Director of Work Relief and Special Projects, Jacob Baker, authorized relief labor to be used in Mission reconstruction. See: The San Bernardino Sun, September 13, 1933, page 1, and The Santa Cruz Sentinel, January 22, 1933, page 5.

Description
México: Construcción, 1944. (weak hinges, partially detached spine; marginal wear in covers, some foxing, not affecting text or plates). b/w plates, drawings, plans, measured plans, elevations, tables, graphs, advertisements, illustrated wrappers. This periodical is virtually unknown and does not appear in the National Library of Mexico, or UNAM or OCLC. The contributors were leaders in post WWII an integrated movement of architecture, engineering and planning to build a modern Mexico. Despite the technical sounding title of the magazine, the interest was in achieving a broader integration of architecture, urban planning, construction and art and thus "Construction" was born along with the words "decoration, art and industry in the title. Many of the contributors to the magazine were part of the planning and construction of the University Nacional Autonóma de Mexico and generally in post-WWII urban planning and influenced modernity in architecture. Alberto Dovalí Jaime pioneering work with reinforced concrete led the way to the boom of buildings and public structures that used that material. Architect Carlos Lazo Barreiro (Mexico City 1914-1955) was a founder in 1943 of the magazine "Construcción". Engineer Alberto Dovalí Jaime, the Mexican pioneer of reinforced concrete (RC) in Mexico was also one of the founders. Engineers Dovalí Jaime (Secretary of Communications) and Vicente Guerrero and Gama designed the first prestressed concrete bridge in Mexico, over the Santa Catarina River, in Monterrey. General director was Almiro P. (Pérez) Moratinos from UNAM. The magazine documents planning and architecture in states outside of Mexico indicating a national viewpoint. The The sections of the magazine included with some variations: Temas Generales Ingenieria, Matematicas, Planificacion, Arquitectura, Arqueologia, Seccion Industrial, Arte, Decoracion and each issue contains robust contributions. The archaeology sections included information on what could be considered patrimonial, such as colonial churches One of the only references to this publication: "Bajo una línea parecida, surgió en 1943 "Construcción, revista de ingeniería, arquitectura, arte, decoración e industria". El apartado que se dedicó a urbanismo estuvo a cargo de Carlos Lazo, y a pesar del enfoque técnico de la revista, destaco el interés por lograr una integración más amplia. Lejos de los debates surgidos en la primera revista de principios de siglo -El Arte y la Ciencia- cuando las carreras de ingeniería y arquitectura se disputaban sus alcances, la revista "Construcción" nació insólitamente junto a las palabras "decoración, arte e industria" (Canales González, Ana Fernanda.
