A descriptive and historical account of various palaces and public buildings (English and foreign) : with biographical notices of their founders, and other eminent persons
A topographical architecture survey by James Norris Brewer, printed in London in 1821 for W. Gilling, describing English and foreign palaces and public buildings alongside lives of their founders. The plates are fine copper engravings of long facades seen at an angle, with ruled window bays, tonal skies, wooded parkland and small figures for scale—useful for architectural line work and grey wash skies.
