Item description from seller

SKETCHES IN ARCHITECTURE: CONSISTING OF ORIGINAL DESIGNS FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUILDINGS. BY THOMAS DOWNES WILMOT DEARN, ARCHITECT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF CLARENCE. PRINTED FOR WILLIAM BAYNES, 54 PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON; DATED 1814. This amazing folio of designs is in poor condition, the binding has virtually gone, the front and back boards are grubby and worn, some of the pages are worn, torn and in general terms have been used and abused over time. However all 16 aquatint plates are still ok, and useable for a variety of uses, such as research and design of that period, mounting and framing for picture use, or for rebinding or just keeping as is. All 16 acquaints were published by John Cawthorn, Catherine Street, Strand, July 1st 1806. PLATE I. DESIGN FOR A COTTAGE. PLATE II. DESIGN FOR A PARK ENTRANCE. PLATE 111. DESIGN FOR TWO COTAGES AND ENTRANCE TO A GENTLEMAN'S GROUNDS. PLATE IV. DESIGN FOR A BILLIARD ROOM. PLATE V. PUBLIC BATHS. PLATE VI. PRIVATE CHAPEL, AND CEMETERY. PLATE VII. GOTHIC ENTRANCE. PLATE VIII. PRIVATE BATH. PLATE IX. CENOTAPH (To the memory of the late "The Most Noble the Marquis Cornwallis".) PLATE X. CORN EXCHANGE AND COUNCIL ROOM. PLATE XI. A VILLA IN THE CASTLE GOTHIC STYLE. PLATE XII. CHAPEL AND CEMETRY. PLATE XIII. PLAN OF THE ANNEXED DESIGN FOR A NATIONAL MAUSOLEUM. PLATE XIV. NATIONAL MAUSOLEUM. PLATE XV. PLAN OF THE BASILICA, Proposed to be erected on the site of PELHAM HOUSE, in GREENWICH PARK. PLATE XVI. DESIGN FOR A BASILICA OR NAVAL MUSEUM, Proposed to be erected on the site of PELHAM HOUSE, in GREENWICH PARK. I have been brutally upfront on the state of this folio, however it is still an amazing book of period design and workings, along with an account of the whole process, including expenditure. This wonderful folio should be preserved for future generations. Please note that shipping/postage may increase from listed price depending on final destination. I'm more than happy to answer any queries or questions or if more photos are required, please do get in touch.
