Large 4to cont. speckled calf carefully rebacked by Aquarius double gilt fillet round sides spine gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine. London: I. Taylor 1774. First edition and a fine copy with the "Schlossbibliothek Dessau" stamp on verso of title. This was one of the most successful and influential of the 18th-century architectural pattern books and was extremely successful in popularizing the Adam style of ornamentation. This is the first of Pain's books to express the influence of Robert Adam. Pain "was constantly in print either with a new book - he published eleven between 1758 and 1793 - or with a revised enlarged edition of an earlier one. In America the demand for his books exceeded that of any other eighteenth-century English author. "Intending 'plainly and faithfully to answer the purpose of the manual artificer' he pared his text to essential instructions and wherever possible engraved these on the plates themselves for the convenience of working users. The plates are the raison d'être of his books. They are clear unpretentious undeceptive outline representations of whole parts.and of details in a scale large enough to work from."-Harris pp. 338-39. Fine copy. Some offsetting of plates and title browned around edges. ❧ Harris 640. unknown books
