One of interior design's most important and influential titles. Created in 1897 by a distinguished author and an accomplished architect whose common sense and practicality remain forever in style.

One of interior design's most important and influential titles, this 1897 manual was a collaborative effort between the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Age of Innocence and an accomplished architect. Edith Wharton and Odgen Codman, Jr., defied the Victorian penchant for clutter in favor of simplicity and balance. Their common sense and practicality remain forever in style.

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, she received the Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Innocence in 1921. Wharton drew upon her privileged social position to create witty and psychologically insightful novels and short stories. Ogden Codman, Jr. (1863–1951) was a noted American architect and interior decorator in the Beaux-Arts tradition. His many famous designs include Wharton's residences Land's End and The Mount as well as her Park Avenue townhouse; the Vanderbilts' Newport home, The Breakers; and the Codman-Davis House in Washington, D.C.
