Description
CAMPBELL Colen, "Vitruvius Britannicus or the British Architect", London 1715-1717. An in-folio volume containing the first two published volumes, i.e. 200 plates (each plate counts for the number of leaves of which it is composed, a plate printed on 2 joined leaves therefore bears 2 numbers and therefore counts double).
Bound in full contemporary brown basane, spine restored, spine ends split.
An essential work on 18th century British architecture. All the patrician residences of 18th-century England are detailed, with plans and elevations. The title page of our volume is that of the second volume, on which a previous owner had used the title page of the first volume.
