Descrizione

8vo (227 x 140 mm), etched throughout, 25 plates, including pictorial title which is slightly spotted, 7 of the plates have some minor purple crayon over colouring or lettering, modern boards, endpapers renewed. Often credited to William Wrighte due to his earlier publication of 1767 entitled Grotesque Architecture, although there is no evidence for his authorship. The vogue for this style of garden furniture designed to resemble tree roots or entwined branches began in the 1750ís but it was first made truly practical at the time of this issue with the introduction of decorative cast iron. This rare pattern-book being the only one wholly devoted to the rustic styles, depicting chairs, benches, tables, mirrors and chimney-pieces. RIBA, 3932; ESTC locates copies at BL, RIBA, National Trust, V&A and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
