Description

First published in 1935, this volume contains a fascinating exploration of the work of five world-famous architects, including Andrea Palladio, Lorenzo Bernini, Indigo Jones, Ange Jaques Gabriel, and Christopher Wren. The material was originally based on a a series of lectures delivered at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth between 1934-35. Sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield RA (1856 - 1942) was a famous British garden designer, architect, and author during the Victorian and Edwardian period. Other notable works by this author include: "Nottinghamshire: New Church" (1890-92), "Sussex: New House and Gardens" (1891), and "Hertfordshire: Alterations" (1892). Contents include: "Andrea Palladio", "Lorenzo Bernini", "Indigo Jones", "Ange Jaques Gabriel", and "Christopher Wren". This volume will appeal to those with an interest in architecture and some of it's most accomplished practitioners. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book today in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on architecture.
