About This Item
London: Chancellor Press, 1988. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a very minor touch of wear to spine tail) with dustjacket which is not price clipped. A large format book of 210 pages. The book brings to life the inspiration behind the world's best-loved buildings and explains the history of the individual styles of architecture that they represent. The growth and changes in building styles superbly reflect the history of civilisation from earliest times to the present day: architecture of religious communities, churches, and temples; the architecture of power, palaces, and the architecture of agriculture, commerce, and domestic life. A delightful introduction to all the major styles - Byzantine, Romanesque, Renaissane, Art Nouveau and Modern. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of photographs, drawings, and cut-away artwork, and it relates lively anecdotes about people and events to bring the whole subject to life. PLEASE NOTE: A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.05 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 25. First. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
