Pp. xl, 344. (8) book catalogue. Illustrated throughout with photographs and architectural drawings. Original cloth gilt, fade marks. When Lutyens experienced rural Surrey; he would roam the countryside and visit the local carpenter or the builder's yard in Godalming and so acquired a profound knowledge of traditional building craftsmanship. He also drew the outline of cottages and barns on a sheet of glass with pieces of soap, thereby developing the acute comprehension of three-dimensional form in terms of wall and roof planes which characterized his architecture. Heavy book.
