商品簡介
Brandwood, an author with a particular interest in Victorian and Edwardian architecture, provides a vividly illustrated history of the architectural firm of Edmund Sharpe, Edward Graham Paley and Hubert Austin, recognized as the greatest of the era. With assistance from Austin, Hughes, Price, and Watson, the author notes that while the firm had a national reputation for its churches, the partners also designed all manner of buildings, from grand country homes to a modest expansion of a local pub. The partners' success at obtaining their many commissions was possible through a network of family and professional connections which are examined here, apparently for the first time. Readers with an interest in architecture and/or history will be drawn by the detailed descriptions, photographs, and other illustrations. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
