London, B.T Batsford 1902

viii + 10pp and 50 b/w litho plates. Folio in original cloth with gilt lettering, top edge gilt. Very good indeed with light wear to spine. Some foxing to endpapers, Stamp of Ellery, Aderson and Rosier on fep. Collection of measured drawings and cross-sections taken from major buildings of post-Reformation England, including: Hardwick Hall, , Broughton Hall, Haddon Hall, Knole House, Hatfield House, Bolsover Castle, Clopton House, Thorpe Hall, Farnham Castle, Hampton Court, Chelsea Hospital, various churches and Oxford and Cambridge Colleges. An impressive attempt to trace the development of specifically English Renaissance design, and to introduce its 'picturesqueness and originality' to a contemporary audience.
