{"product_id":"anthony-salvin-9780718827076","title":"Anthony Salvin","description":"\u003cb\u003eA   major study of one of the leading Victorian domestic architects, illustrated   with plans and photographs, and a full catalogue raisonné of Salvin's   work.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     One of the most important architects practising in Britain during the years   1820-1880, Anthony Salvin had a long and successful career as a builder of   country houses and churches and as a restorer of some of the most important   castles in England, including Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. In the   first book-length study of this important architect, Dr Allibone has   incorporated previously unpublished material concerning Salvin's life and   buildings, including contemporary letters, building accounts, diaries, and   reproductions of Salvin's architectural drawings, in order to shed new light   on artistical, political, economic and religious developments in   nineteenth-century England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Concerned through his career with finding authentic medieval examples for   new buildings in the Gothic style, Salvin led the way to return to the 'real'   Gothic architecture that cumulated later in the nineteenth century with the   works of men like Alfred Waterhouse, William Burges and George Edmund Street.   A knowledge of his career will further an appreciation of the works of these   later, more widely studied architects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     Including 181 illustrations as well as a comprehensive catalogue listing   all the known data for 366 of Salvin's projected and executed works, this   study should find a large audience among those interested in the history of   architecture and in Victorian England in general.","brand":"Jill Allibone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49056468205819,"sku":"9780718827076","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/anthony-salvin-9780718827076","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
