A Scots Mediaeval Architect

Glasgow William Hodge and Co 1895

Limited to a print run of 200 copies. Xii + 76pp. Mustard yellow cloth covers boards with gilt title and coat of arms of St John the Evangelist on upper cover and title on spine. Top edge of book block gilt, other edges untrimmed. 8vo. Corners a little bumped and cloth marked with ink (?) on upper edge of front board. General signs of age apparent but a very good copy otherwise. Tipped in half tone plates alongside b/w illustrations. This is the first monograph devoted to the master mason of the early 15th century, John Morow. A useful compilation of material on this key figure in the evolution of Scottish gothic architectural style, though recent work of Richard Fawcett has shown aspects of the dating and associations are incorrect in detail. First published in the short-lived Scots Lore Magazine, 1895. Bookplate of the Hon. Hew Dalrymple [General Sir Hew Whitefoord Dalrymple, 1st Baronet] on front paste-down.
