Description: " The quality of the reprint is nearly perfect with a good selection of papers for the three sequential parts of the book: the texts the drawings and the black - and - white photographs. Text and drawings are on matte heavyweight pages while the photos are on glossy paper. The inks make everything read well; in particular the drawing reproductions are exquisite." Archidose Edwin Lutyens one of the most famous architectural names of the 20th century died in 1944. As a memorial three large volumes of his drawings and photographs were commissioned from the thousands found in his office and were published by Country Life. All three volumes will be republished in 2023. The first volume contains his own plans elevations and copious details of the finest examples of his domestic buildings on which his huge reputation principally rests. The book embodies the quintessence of the man and his work; the variety of style and design seen in the houses brings together in one volume the many strands of Lutyen's fertile mind. Two further volumes will include his corporate and public buildings. The genius of Lutyens is now universally recognised. In the work featured in this book we can now see not just the professionalism of a great architect but also the loving care with which he set down the most minute detail with the result that this is one of the few books in existence that can be used to provide working drawings.
