177717132London 1777. Copper engraving. Engraved by Roe. In excellent condition. An elegant engraving of the elaborate ceiling in the dining room of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn's celebrated house in St. James's Square London.<br/> <br/>Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.<br/> <br/>Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.

It is in the form of 11 theses followed by a response.<p>Johann Gottfried von Meiern 1664-1721 was a German lawyer and historian. In 1718 he became Professor extraordinarius of law at the University of Giessen. His professorship at Giessen was short-lived due to conflict with his colleagues over his belief in the theory of natural law. He returned to his hometown of Bayreuth in 1720. Von Meiern aka Meyern is probably best known for his contribution to the "Acta Pacis Westphalicae" from 1734. Gissae [Giessen]: Literis Johannis Mulleri, (1719). paperback
