| 释义 | {{About|the architect|the politician|George Herbert Babb}}George Fletcher Babb (1835-1915) was an American architect who worked primarily in New Jersey and New York.[1] Although he designed several buildings independently, he is best known for his work as senior partner at Babb, Cook & Willard, a partnership he formed with Walter Cook in 1877.[1][2] In his time with Babb, Cook & Willard, Babb was involved in the design of several well known New York buildings, including the cast-iron office building and the De Vinne Press Building.[1] He was also known for designing alterations to the summer home of the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, now the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in New Hampshire.[2] In addition to his architectural work, Babb was known in his time for his work designing the covers of publications such as Century Magazine and Sport with Rod and Gun.[3] He also designed the De Vinne Centennial, a motif featuring a quote in Greek by Prometheus, which was used in books printed by De Vinne beginning in 1886.[4] Babb was sometimes referred to as "Badger Babb" by his friends, who are said to have valued his "dry humor and the intricacy of his puns."[2] == References == 1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095438792|title=A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture|last=Curl|first=James Stevens|date=2006-02-23|publisher=OUP Oxford|isbn=0198606788|pages=54|language=en}} {{authority control}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LyPlBwAAQBAJ&pg=PA356&dq=george+fletcher+babb|title=Stanford White|date=1931|work=Da Capo Press series in architecture and decorative art|publisher=Dodd, Mead & Co.|volume=39|location=New York|page=356|last1=Baldwin|first1=Charles C.|accessdate=14 February 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Bruce|first1=David Wolfe|title=Catalogue of Early Printed Books|date=1894|publisher=Grolier Club|page=16|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AJNEAQAAMAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s|accessdate=14 February 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Tichenor|first1=Irene|title=The De Vinne Centennial - American Printing History Association|url=https://printinghistory.org/de-vinne/|website=American Printing History Association|accessdate=14 February 2017|date=16 February 2014}} 1 : American architects |
