    Description

    Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    In the publisher's original red cloth binding.

    With the publisher's original, exceptionally scarce, unclipped dust wrapper. 

    This volume is the revised and retitled edition of the original 1913 publication, updated and republished in 1925 to include Sir Edwin Lutyens’s later works. It features a wide range of projects, from celebrated gardens such as Hestercombe, Heathcote (Ilkley), Lambay (Ireland), Temple Dinsley, Great Dixter, and Folly Farm, to designs for public monuments, town buildings, and furniture.

    Profusely illustrated with over 300 photographs, architectural drawings, and garden views, the volume includes a striking black-and-white photographic frontispiece of Heathcote and offers a comprehensive visual record of Lutyens’s country house architecture and landscaping.
