This stunning book presents over 500 full-color illustrations of a distinctive architectural style that enlivened the cities and countryside of Europe in the Victorian era. Widely considered "THE" book on brickwork, and unavailable elsewhere, it documents the ways in which the style incorporated imaginative brickwork and bright appliques of terra-cotta. Reprinted from a rare portfolio of architectural drawings by well-known architect Pierre Chabat, the large-format illustrations depict many actual buildings of the 1870's and 1880's: villas, townhouses, churches, schools, restaurants, etc. Complete with informative captions and a new introduction, this magnificent work presents a rare visual record of a building style now recognized as one of the supreme achievements of the Victorian era.
