A descriptive and historical account of various palaces, and public buildings, English and foreign
A descriptive and historical account of various palaces, and public buildings, English and foreign, written by James Norris Brewer and printed in London for W. H. Wyatt in 1810, for readers following architecture and topography. Line engravings mix measured elevations and sections — coffered arches, Corinthian orders, obelisks, plinth mouldings — with tonal views of facades peopled by small figures, useful as architectural ornament and stipple-shaded scenery.
