Synopsis

Grotesque Architecture Or Rural Amusement: Consisting Of Plans, Elevations, And Sections For Huts, Retreats, Summer And Winter Hermitages, And More (1790) is a book written by William Wrighte. The book is a collection of architectural plans, elevations, and sections for various types of rural structures such as huts, retreats, summer and winter hermitages, and more. The designs are described as ""grotesque"" due to their unconventional and whimsical nature, which was a popular style during the 18th century. The book is a valuable resource for architects, historians, and enthusiasts interested in the history of architecture and design. It provides a glimpse into the creativity and imagination of architects during this time period and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of rural architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
