Descrizione

4to, [2], vii, [1] + 4pp., of publishersí catalogue at end, engraved title and 64 engraved plates by Thomas Langley after Batty Langley ( (numbered I-LXII, A, B), title lightly browned, occasional spotting or age-toning, endpapers renewed, contemporary tree calf, neatly rebacked. First published as ëAncient Architecture, Restored and Improvedí (London: 1742) and re-issued under this title. A pioneering work, simultaneously of the Gothic revival and the Rococo style. Batty Langley (1696-1751) was in no sense a student of genuine medieval style, and instead pursued a wonderfully inventive scheme to fuse the gothic with the classical, creating the five new gothic orders of architecture illustrated in this work. Langleyís work has proved immensely influential. Bound in at the rear: An 8 page catalogue of ìA Catalogue of Modern Books on Architecture. on sale at Taylorís Architectural Libraryî, c. 1800. Archer 172.3; Harris 411; BAL, 1727.
