Cornforth, John

London Interiors from the Archives of Country Life

London, Aurum Press, 2000. Paperback. Gray and bw pictorial paper wraps with white lettering, 192 pp. bw illustrations. "We visit the vanished magnificence of the great eighteenth-century houses of the aristocracy, from the glamorous Rococo interiors of Norfolk House or Chesterfield House to the Gothic Pomfret Castle. Other houses are seen at key moments in their history: here is Robert Adam's Home House when it was occupied by Samuel Courtauld and his celebrated collection of Impressionist masterpieces; here are the monumental Classical interiors of Dorchester House, photographed shortly before they were swept away. As well as many images of rooms of spectacular turn-of-the-century opulence, the book also reflects fashionable taste between the wars: we glimpse Lady Diana Cooper's bathroom, Chips Channon's staggering dining room, Lord and Lady Louis Mountbatten's elelgant apartment, and several ravishing decorative schemes by Rex Whistler. A unique record of some of London's finest houses, London Interiors from the Archives of Country Life is also a collection of the century's most distinguished architectural photography, superbly reproduced in duotone. With its authoritative, entertaining text, this book is certain to become a standard work on the architectural history of London." - dust jacket description. VG .
