Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Near Fine condition. Dust Jacket Condition: No dust jacket, as issued. Reprint of the 1898 Second Edition. Scholar Select Appears unread. Near Fine condition (cover only a little rubbed). NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - apparently never read. Illus…trated with about 25 plates, printed on rectos only (blank versos). NOT a library discard, but an undated reproduction based on a library copy of the 1898 Second Edition. Full title: "Contrasts: or, A Parallel Between the Noble Edifices of the Middle Ages, and Corresponding Buildings of the Present Day; Shewing the Present Decay of Taste, Accompanied by appropriate Text." Has chapters on Great Edifices of the Middle Ages; On the Revived Pagan Principle; Pillage and Destruction of the Churches under Henry the Eighth; Ravages and Destruction of the Churches under Edward the Sixth; etc. According to Pugin's biographer, Rosemary Hill: "The drawings were all calculatedly unfair. King's College London was shown from an unflatteringly skewed angle, while Christ Church, Oxford, was edited to avoid showing its famous Tom Tower because that was by Christopher Wren and so not medieval. But the cumulative rhetorical force was tremendous." -- Wikipedia. Reprint of the 1898 Second Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/No dust jacket, as issued. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (xii), 100pp. + 25 plates. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound connection between religious faith and architectural expression, contrasting the soaring, awe-inspiring cathedrals of the Middle Ages with the comparatively uninspired structures of later centuries. The author argues that the grandeur and symbolic ric…hness of Gothic architecture directly stemmed from the fervent religious devotion of the era. Every detail, from the cruciform layout to the towering spires, served as a tangible expression of Christian beliefs and aspirations. However, the rise of revived paganism and the Protestant Reformation marked a turning point, leading to a decline in both faith and architectural beauty. This shift is explored through an examination of the increasingly secular and classical influences that crept into church design, as well as the widespread destruction and neglect of medieval religious buildings. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and its enduring legacy in the magnificent structures that continue to inspire wonder and contemplation today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Among the most influential figures of the Gothic Revival in nineteenth-century Britain, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) distinguished himself as an architect, author and interior designer. He had crafted furniture for George IV at Windsor,… but his greatest triumph was the design and fitting out of the new Palace of Westminster with Charles Barry (1795-1860) following the fire of 1834. First published in 1836, Contrasts is Pugin's most famous work, championing the medieval over the modern through satirical comparison of divergent styles. Reissued here in its substantially revised second edition of 1841, the book reflects its author's Catholicism and a developing interpretation of Gothic architecture. Along with The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture (1841), this work remains essential reading for those seeking to understand the growth of the Gothic Revival, illuminating with many illustrations the theories guiding one of Britain's most important architects.

Contact seller5-star sellerSecond Edition. Second edition of Pugin's groundbreaking work which arguably defined the Gothic Revival in architecture. With a total of 20 plates, an addition of 5 plates (and omission of 1) from the first edition, this second edition adds the notable plates whereby Pugin shows contrasting views of English Catholic towns in 144…0 versus 1880, and ancient homes for the poor versus the modern-Victorian panopticon workhouses, and in which he of course laments and "exposed the degrated [sic] state of architecture" after the Middle Ages. The "most important addition to Contrasts [second edition] was a pair of plates. . . These plates made an argument more powerful than Pugin would ever make in words." Hill, God's Architect (2007, pg. 248). 4to. v, 104pp. + 20 plates. Belcher A3.2. Scarce in commerce. Very good in modern quarter leather over marbled boards with minor scattered foxing throughout, primarily to edges.
