Beschreibung

A fascinating history work exploring the open and communal spaces in England's capital, illustrated throughout and written by the important designer Lieut-Col J. J. Sexby. Cheap edition. Profusely illustrated with sketches, photographs and facsimiles throughout. Written by Lieut-Col J. J. Sexby, the designer of Battersea park and parts of Southwark Park. This illustrated work offers an insight into the parks and open spaces in England's capital, their design and history. Yet you'll find no mention of Hyde Park, Regent's Park or St. James's Park, instead the work discusses the lesser known and lesser discussed green spaces in London. An ideal volume for anyone with an interest in the design of parks, or indeed the city of London. In a full cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. Bumping to the head and tail of the spine and also to the extremities. Light sunning to the spine. Rubbing to the joints and extremities. Small crack to the head of the rear joint, with a small tear also to front joint. Light tidemark to the front board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally clean, with some light age toning and the odd handling mark. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 614C1
