Product Description
Geogian London is a classic book for English architectural history. John Summerson's account of a major building period in the history of London encompases the architecture of the capital from the Great Fire of 1666 through the city's early-19th-century expansion. It explores the genesis and development of Georgian London. Summerson examines the way in which building was conditioned by social, economic and financial circumstances as well as discussing some of Britain's most important buildings and their architects. Although Summerson's text has essentially been left unchanged in this edition, in the light of new research corrections have been made and expanded to include a few significant buildings that were originally overlooked. In addition to this are new illustrations and and updated appendix of surviving Georgian buildings. Containing 446 pages. Dimensions: 1.2x6x8.3 inches.
