First published as London: The Art of Georgian Building, this book has been widely acclaimed as a classic study of London's town houses built between 1700 and 1821 - the greatest period of British architecture. Dan Cruickshank's text, combined with
numerous photographs and Peter Wyld's superbly executed measured drawings of facades and details, is a unique record of these buildings.
Now, this book has been re-issued at £14.99.

Review:
'Fine photographs, exact and exquisite measured drawings and terse factual text. Ideal pictorial supplement to Summerson's earlier Georgian London.'
The Sunday Times
The large-scale commercial redevelopment of the 1970s affected in particular London's Georgian architecture. This book records what happened to those buildings and covers restoration/reproduction procedures.
