Description

This is a very good hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket, with only light soil and wear. Small repaired chip to top of dust jacket. This survey of English architecture from the 15th through the 18th centuries, focusses on the background architecture, the smaller houses and farm buildings that were built by carpenters and local people. In particular Rosenberg looks at the Cotswold district and what is known as the "Cotswold type" of building, which dates from 1570 to 1700. Several examples also from Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Cotswold builders used limestone, the other counties used the material they had to hand, which was timber. So these styles involved extensive timber and plaster-work. Illustrated with black & white photos, line drawings and sketches. No text, just a brief foreword and notes to the plates, identifying location and materials. Folio, 13" high X 10" wide, 102 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
