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 .

Architecture of the Arts and Crafts Movement

New York, NY, Rizzoli, 1980. Hardcover. Blue paper boards with silver gilt lettering on spine, blue and pictorial dust jacket with off-white lettering, 224 pp. bw illustrations. "This book gives an account of the lives, theories and work of the architects of the movement which began in England and quickly influenced Europe and America. It highlights the contradictions they tried to resolve in accommodating or rejecting the developments of the new machine age, and in meeting the cost of materials and craftsmanship which forced them to work mainly for a wealthy elite class. It shows how the ideas of the movement influenced the California and Praire Schools and Art Nouveau and how it led to the development of neo-Georgianism and the growth of the machine worshipping Modern Movement after the Great War. We are at a stage in our own century which has interesting parallels with the period that gave birth to the Arts and Crafts movement. Many people, feeling alienated by the machine age and disenchanted with its products, are seeking inspiration from the craftsmanship of the past. At a time when scientific functionalism has been shown to fail and the society of conspicuous consumption is coming to an end the ideas and images of the Arts and Crafts Movement will be found to repay the serious study which this book gives them." - dust jacket description. VG-/G+ ( minimal age toning along textblock, all pages clear and intact - dust jacket shows light wear at corners and tiny tears at spine) .
