This catalogue raisonne contains reprints of nearly all of Wren's

that of his followers. Christopher Wren (1632-1723), the most famous 
British architect, as surveyor of the king's works, a position he 
held for four decades beginning in 1669, built many of London's 
landmarks after the great fire including St. Paul's. "Relevant not 
only to Wren but to the whole architectural scene from 1660 -1715," 
Summerson. Top edges foxed and soiled, else very good, boards rubbed, 
occasional soiling, corners a bit bumped with wear, otherwise leaves 
bright, clean, and unmarked, bindings solid, plates crisp, a very 
nice set with fine contents.    [30186] $1350.00
