Softcover. Three glossy, white, color-photographic, softcover volumes in color-photographic board slipcase, all with black lettering. 256 pp. with 463 bw images; 255 pp. with 507 images; and 255 pp. with 471 images, respectively. First published by Country Life between 1955 and 1958, these volumes in the famous English Country Houses series cover the period 1715-1840. They start at the time when English baroque, as practiced by Christopher Wren, was in decline and end with the houses of the reigns of George III, the Prince Regent and William IV. They are the most interesting exposition of the subject ever to be presented. The author has selected the houses that best illulstrate the progression of styles and decorations. It remains a standard in the country house literature. All volumes and slipcase NF, except for light, consistent age toning to white areas of book covers. Likely unread.
