This series offers descriptions, spiced by lively and informed comment, of every building of architectural importance in every country of England. Besides the grand set pieces - cathedral and their furnishings, great country houses and their parks, the commercial and industrial architecture of Victorian cities - the reader is introduced to lesser delights, from village churches to garden follies, from pubs to pumping stations. The introductions provide a historical survey of each county's art and architecture, which is illustrated in a central section of over a hundred photographs and in the text by many specially drawn maps and plans. The series - chiefly written by Sir Nikolaus himself - continues to go into new editions which keep it up to date with contemporary ddevelopments and with the latest scholarly discoveries. Overall good condition. There is slight yellowing to the images on the dustjacket, as well as faint scratches and marks being present.
