English Domestic Architecture of the XVII and XVIII Centuries . New and revised edition
By Horace Field & Michael Bunney
Published by G. Bell & Sons: London 1928
"
English Domestic Architecture of the XVII and XVIII Centuries by Horace Field and Michael Bunney offers an authoritative and visually rich examination of English domestic design during two of its most architecturally refined periods. First published in the early twentieth century and reissued here in a new and revised 1928 edition by G. Bell & Sons, the work surveys country houses, manor homes, and town dwellings from the Stuart and Georgian eras. Through measured drawings, plans, and detailed elevations, the authors illustrate the evolution of architectural style—from the symmetry and restraint of early seventeenth-century design to the elegance and proportion characteristic of the eighteenth century.
This revised edition refines earlier research and expands the visual documentation, making it both a practical reference for architects and a source of inspiration for students of historic preservation. Field and Bunney's careful attention to proportion, materials, and craftsmanship provides invaluable insight into the social and aesthetic values that shaped English domestic life. This book would appeal to architectural historians, preservationists, and collectors of classic architectural studies celebrating the artistry of Britain's great building tradition.
