Seller's Description:
VG (Wraps are lightly shelfworn; textblock edges are lightly shelfworn; interior is clean; binding is solid. ) White and beige wraps with photo-illustration and black lettering; 142 pp.; richly illustrated. "The London town house is one of the most influential 18th-century building types but until now relatively little has been written about the arrangements for everyday life behind the street facades. This book, by two leading experts, has an informative introduction and uses specially drawn plans and accompanying photographs to chart the diverse forms of London's houses in the long Georgian period. The studies include many long-demolished buildings and range from small, one-room East End dwellings to the more comfortable arrangements of the grander houses in the West End."--Rear cover.
