Three Centuries of Architectural Craftmanship: Butterworth Architecture Library of Period Detailing

by Colin Amery

A selection of the best drawings from the classic 1920 to 1930 AR series of looseleaf folders entitled A Practical Exemplar of Architecture. Long out of print, these folders represented a source of authentic 17th and 18th century stonework, woodwork, fireplaces, doorways and similar domestic details. This book makes them available to a wide audience of architects, interior designers, builders and the owners of houses of those periods.

A companion volume to Period Houses and their Details deals more specifically with domestic interiors.
