The Architect and Builder's Miscellany, or Pocket Library: containing original picturesque designs in architecture, for cottages, farm, country, and town houses, public buildings, temples, green houses, bridges, lodges and gates for the entrances to parks and pleasure grounds, stables, monumental tombs, garden seats, &c

Descripción

8vo. 19 by 11.5 cm. 52 of the sixty plates have hand-coloring of building facades and other architectural features, with usually the lower half of the plate devoted to floor plans. The eight other plates are entirely floor plans of prior plates which are entirely given over to hand-colored renderings of buildings. The structures are varied, with the classical style of the day the most pronounced, but with whimsical touches of the incipient Romantic period surfacing in such things as the pleasure pavilions. A most beautiful, exquisite collection of plates and architectural drawings. Clean and tight within. Recased, with lovely calf binding. Light soiling of the title page.
