I think I am the last to link to this story.  I would like to credit all the weblogs that pointed me to it, but I can't really remember who was first. ( I think it was Andrew Sullivan ). November 1938 was two years after Hitler had occupied the Rhineland and six months after "union" with Austria. He had just taken Czechoslovakia and Germany was weeks away from the horrors of Kristallnacht. Yet here was a British interiors (Home and Gardens) magazine treating the architect of all this as if he were the Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen of his day.   11:42:46 AM
