About This Item
This is the third printing of The English House Through Seven Centuries, a best-selling book about English architecture written by the English artist and writer Olive Cook (1912-2002). This is the paperback edition, published in 1984. It is packed with black and white photographs by the English architecture and landscape photographer Edwin Smith (1912-1971).
It is 320 pages of pages of interesting photographs and descriptions of grand and modest English domestic architecture, including many interesting curiosities. Staring with small, stone outbuildings with straw roofs, the beginnings of English architecture are as impressive as the manor houses and mansions that would follow. The book explains why houses were built the way they were, and how they held up through the years.
This copy is in mint condition, except for the original owner's bookplate on the front endpaper, but you can cover that with your own. It does not appear to have been read.
