Good book with 167 black & white illustrated sketches
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
211 pages; 7" x 10"; hardcover.The author lived from 1854-1930 I believe. This must be a reprinted version. From the inside flap: "Defining manor house as "the style of dwelling that ranked between the mansion and the farm or cottage," P.H. Ditchfield and his superb illustrator Sydney R. Jones roam the length and breadth of the country, frequently off the beaten track, and discover some of the hidden architectural splendor of England..."From the Forward (circa 1910): "The object of this book is to describe and illustrate the old country manor-houses of England, which are fast falling into decay, and are being replaced by modern and less picturesque buildings..."The book accomplishes what it sets out to do. The illustrations seem so realistic its almost as if they took pictures of the buildings first, then sketched over them with transparent paper.
