The architecture of country houses : including designs for cottages, farm houses, and villas, with remarks on interiors, furniture, and the best modes of warming and ventilating
A. J. Downing's 1851 pattern book of American country houses, issued by D. Appleton in New York and Philadelphia with wood engravings cut by Alexander Anderson, addressed to landowners, builders, and their architects. The plates pair small shaded perspectives of cottages, farmhouses, and villas set in trees with hatched floor plans lettered in room names and dimensions, plus interior views of furniture, mantels, and heating apparatus; useful for architectural line work, plan diagrams, and hand-lettered labels.
