Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Second edition. viii, 20 pp. 60 engraved plates complete, some with accompanying text. Bound in a modern full speckled calf, tooled in blind to board borders and with raised bands, gilt ruling, small blind details and gilt lettered label to spine. Binding just a touch rubbed at points with a few scratches. A few short closed tears to edges of leaves, though otherwise very clean. Swan's designs here for "homes for the professional and middle classes in England were well suited to the needs of the colonial elite" (The Met, New York). This was the first architecture book printed in America when it was published in Philadelphia in 1775. An impressive work. Binding 42 cms. tall. Narrow Folio.
