Item description from seller

This illustrated book provides a complete assessment of the architecture of Cromwell's England. Key to the puritan minimalist classicism of the time was the work of Inigo Jones, and this book provides a controversial reassessment not only of Jones himself but of his apprentice, John Webb. It also places the work of Roger Pratt above that of Isaac de Cans and argues that he must be considered the true disciple of Inigo Jones. The individual buildings discussed include: Cromwell House, Highgate Hill; The Piazza, Covent Garden; The Queen's House, Greenwich; and the Pepsyian Library, Magdalen College, Cambridge. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
