Cloth, 4to, 32 cm, xxv, 512 pp, plates, ills. 172 entries. From the blurb - "This volume presents the books published in France from the Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection of illustrated books on Western European architectural design and theory. This extraordinary collection, housed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, provides a rare opportunity to explore the work and theories of four centuries of French architects and designers, as well as the fundamental treatises that influenced them. Included here are the volumes that served as the primary guides for centuries of French architects, such as Alberti's Libri de re aedificatoria, as well as the works of Serlio, translated into French. Other volumes, designed for public consumption, record the property and building activity of the royal families, and document the authority of the monarch. Early nineteenth-century sketchbooks of medieval architecture reveal the emergence and flowering of the Gothic Revival in France. The sketchhooks of such painters as Vien and Ponce bear witness to the discovery of the voyage pittoresque during the same century, and to a romance with Italy that began some three hundred years earlier. Each architectural book has been carefully descrihed and illustrated; a catalogue entry provides a full history of' each." Top edge spotted, otherwise Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.

Cloth, 4to, 32 cm, xii, 415 pp. From the blurb - "Northern European Books is the third volume in a series cataloguing more than six hundred illustrated books and bound series of prints. All were collected by the late Mark J. Millard, whose many interests included the study of European architecture, design, and topography. Now housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Millard collection comprises books published between the end of the fifteenth and the middle of the nineteenth centuries. Many are rare first and early editions. Here, an introductory essay placing the books in their historical context is followed by detailed bibliographical descriptions. The Millard books demonstrate how architectural developments in the German Renaissance, encompassing the Vitruvian tradition, reveal the influence of ancient Rome and Renaissance Italy. This is traced through the treatises of such artists as Sebastiano Serlio, Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, and Andrea Palladio. The works of Peter Paul Rubens are but one example of the mediation of classical ideals that took place in the seventeenth century, before giving way to the rococo themes of the eighteenth century. The latter part of this century saw various transformations of the classical ideal of Greece. More than 140 titles in five languages offer a fine review of sources and practices in Northern European architecture, from the Renaissance through the baroque and into the neoclassical period. Selected engravings vividly illustrate Continental achievements and attitudes in architecture." Near Fine in a dustwrapper with a slightly faded spine-panel.

Cloth, 4to, 32 cm, xxiii, 545 pp, colour ills. From the blurb - "The Itallan books in the Millard coll ection constitute a significant segment of the architechural, archaeological, and topographical imprints published between 1486 and 1848 in various cities in the Italian peninsula; also included is a sampling of Spanish books, published between 1671 and 1800. As is abundantly clear from the previous volumes in this series, Italy was the epicenter of the architectural Renaissance and, if we include the ancient Roman Vitruvius, the source of virtually all the translated treatises found in the French, British, and northern European volumes. The Italian-speaking territories, and Rome in particular, were not only the wellspring of printed books and images but also the indispensable site to view the ruins of the ancient world and the triumphs of modern architecture. Included in this final volume are books illustrating Vitruvius' ancient Rome, Leon Battista Alberti's Renaissance Florence, and Andrea Palladio's pre-baroque Venice. Also prominent are views of modern Rome by Michelangelo, Francesco Borromini, Carlo Fontana, and Antonio da Sangallo, superb examples of various projects for Saint Peter's Basilica, and the standard works by Sebastiano Serlio and Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola. A highlight of the catalogue is an essay covering the approximately thirty books in the Gallery's collection by Giovanni Battista Piranesi."

4 vols, cloth, 4to, 32 cm, xxv, 512 + xv, 392 + xii, 415 + xxiii, 545 pp. Over 600 entries in total. Now housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the fsmous Millard collection of architectural works comprises books published between the end of the fifteenth and the middle of the nineteenth centuries. Many are rare first and early editions. From the blurb to Volume 2: "The almost one hundred titles catalogued in British Books trace the origins and development of architectural illustration in Britain. The collection is particularly rich in the eighteenth century, and includes almost all of the great folio albums recording the archaeological investigations of antiquity, such as James Stuart and Nicholas Revett's Antiquities of Athens, and most of the volumes documenting the architecture of Britain, such as Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus. Such books, intended for the gentleman-amateur's library rather than the architect's office or builder's workshop, reveal the British sensitivity concerning properly architectural representation of buildings. Here too are practical treatises for construction, ornament patterns for embellishment, surveys of fine and famous monuments, views of buildings in situ, and topographical surveys. Included are works by Robert and James Adam, Thomas Chippendale, John Neale, Humphry Repton, and Sir Christopher Wren."
