A thought-provoking architectural monograph on one of the most renowned and original classicist practices today. <br><br>Quinlan and Francis Terry Architects is a British firm that specializes in new Classical architecture. Their work is a delightful expression—in plaster and marble in brick and wood in stone—of exuberant timelessness where fluted columns rise beside doorways to explode in Corinthian capitals of exquisite craftsmanship and structural integrity. <br><br>Throughout the work attention to detail to craftsmanship and to reasoned proportions is apparent. Quinlan Terry is at home in every traditional style from Classical Greek and Roman to the many forms of Gothic and Renaissance. Terry’s son and partner Francis is recognized as a brilliant talent in his own right and is as highly regarded for his thoughtful design as for his breathtaking architectural drawings. <br><br>Together the duo are at the heart of a resurgent interest in an architecture and design that is both livable and inspiring. This book features the firm’s work from 2005 to 2015 and includes Kilboy a country house in County Tipperary Ireland; Kingsham Farm in Sussex England; and ongoing work such as Locuston Estate in Kentucky. It also showcases more than forty master drawings by Francis Terry renderings that are at once beautiful and expressive of one of the highest aims of architecture—they elevate the soul—much like the houses and spaces built by this extraordinary firm. 224 pp. Pictorial dust jacket.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers have a very small impact dent on the top edge otherwise fine. Inside the front cover is an attractive pre-printed book plate from previous owner. Pages are unmarked crisp and clean. Binding and text block are square and tight. Dustjacket has very light rubbing and edge wear. Full refund if not satisfied. Rizzoli hardcover

Published anonymously Gilpin's authorship was only revealed with the third edition in 1781 reaching a fifth edition in 1802. On the continent this essay's influence spread through German French and Dutch translations. Gilpin's "aim as the title-page indicates was to outline ‘the Principles of picturesque Beauty the Different Kinds of Prints and the Characters of the most noted Masters’. . . . The Essay defines ‘picturesque’ as ‘a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty which is agreeable in a picture’ Essay on Prints 2 but does not develop the definition." ODNB Among prints singled out for detailed consideration are Salvator Rosa's "Death of Polycrates" Waterloo’s "Tobias" and Hogarth’s "Rake’s Progress." N. B.
