LIVES OF THE BRITISH ARCHITECTS by Cunningham, Allan

LIVES OF THE BRITISH ARCHITECTS

London: John Murray, 1831. Although this is volume IV of 6 volumes on British painters, sculptors and architects (and volume XIX of the Family Library published by Murray), each volume was sold separately and is complete in itself. Included are William of Wykeham, Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren and more. Illustrated by plates of each architect. Bound in the original tan cloth, somewhat bumped at the edges, and with the complete listing of all volumes available to date on the rear cover (thru No. 67.) - an early 19th century precursor of the Modern Library. Title page still bears the 1831 date, but the date on the front cover is 1839.

Condition: Overall very good condition: somewhat darkened, one plate detached, but present.
