Beschreibung

Engraved title-page & 24 engraved plates (several plates slightly dampstained). Large 4to, orig. blue wrappers (frayed & scribbled upon by an early owner), stitched as issued, uncut. [London]: I. & J. Taylor, 1792. First edition and very rare; ESTC locates only two copies: at the Bodleian and Avery Architecture Library. This is very attractive work of designs for storefronts and specialized doors, issued by the leading publishers of architectural works of Britain, the Taylor s Architectural Library. The Taylors, father and son, were shrewd businessmen and gave priority to the practical manuals required to support the building boom of the late eighteenth century. Bound-in at end is a two leaf folio catalogue of the Taylor s publications (this seems to be ESTC T80563), dated after 1795. Good copy of a very rare book, preserved in a box. ? ODNB.
