"In 1896, a relatively unknown German architect, Hermann Muthesius, was sent to London by the Prussian Ministry of Finance to study low-cost housing. After six years of painstaking research, Muthesius produced several studies that were wider in scope than the government project had required. In fact, they represented the first comprehensive attempt to analyze the development of English architecture in the second half of the the nineteenth century." --Jacket copy // **Somewhat heavy item.
