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.
