Insular Rococo: Architecture, Politics, and Society in Ireland and England 1710-1770

London, Reaktion Books, 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 4to 11" - 13" tall. A superior copy inside and out, being a sterling condition hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear; not ex-library, with neither underlining nor highlighting anywhere. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing only very minor wear, protected by a plastic coat, dust jacket not being price-clipped. Gift-quality condition inside and out. Published in First Edition state by Reaktion Books November, London, 1999. According to the publisher's blurb, "Between 1710 and 1770, the inventive, ornate Rococo style should, in the natural course of events, have been Britain's prevailing decorative style. This is the first book to describe and explain its oddly frustrated course in England and, in vivid contrast, its brilliant flourishing in Ireland. The authors' controversial claim is that Ireland not only devised its own form of 'insular' Rococo, but exported this mode successfully in a gesture of cultural colonialism to the West of England. Their book shows that the Irish were, far more effectively than the English, participants in the European consensus of the Rococo period. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks." ix + 353 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . As New/Fine,

Many score leaves housed in an over-large, elephant folio-sized folder, linen cloth-covered, brown cloth-bound, and with original blue silk linen ties present. Moderately scuffed and soiled appearance to the folder, and with some splitting to the spine of the folder at bottom, and with some wear to joints, but the interiors are remarkably attractive in appearance still. Several score panels with photos and architectural drawings, elevations, etc. Some plates slightly stained, chipped, etc., at their margins, but collated as complete but for plates 2, 3, 31, 32, 33 and 51, says a note by the previous owner, Mr. Richard L.

Ten Books on Architecture

Bright, glossy card stock wraps, perfect-bound. From the publisher's blurb, "Vitruvius (Marcus V. Pollio), Roman architect and engineer, studied Greek philosophy and science and gained experience in the course of professional work. He was one of those appointed to be overseers of imperial artillery or military engines, and was architect of at least one unit of buildings for Augustus in the reconstruction of Rome. Late in life and in ill health he completed, sometime before 27 BCE, De Architectura which, after its rediscovery in the fifteenth century, was influential enough to be studied by architects from the early Renaissance to recent times. In On Architecture Vitruvius adds to the tradition of Greek theory and practice the results of his own experience." xvi, 333 pp. and with notes and index.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
