In April 1919 the distinguished architect Edwin Lutyens returned from South Africa in the R.M.S. Briton. The captain of the Briton, Edward Weatherston Day, told Lutyens that hje wanted to build himself a house at gravesend on his imminent retirement, and the architect, having little to occupy him on an uneventful trip, commandeered the chart room to spend many happy hours designing the captain's perfect house, a 'perfect square on squared paper' The actual design drawings have been lost, but the fourteen pages of 'inventry' of the contents of the Captain Day's house are reproduced in full colour abd they provide and vivid evidence of the architects wonderful ability to project his imagination into the life of his client, a power familiar to the thousands who visit Queen Mary's Dolls' House at Windsor Castle. Vita Sackville- West called Lutyens an 'imaginative jester of genius' Ref O 6. Seller Inventory # 027481
