Sobre este artículo
London: The Architectural Press, 1925. Fine Binding. Fine. 8.5" by 5.5". Not Stated. A finely bound, two volume set of this work regarding the history of English home decor. From the library of socialite and patron of the arts, Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. Two volumes bound as one. Being volume I 1066-1620 and volume II 1620-1800. This is the third work in the 'At A Glance' series. This work is a simple review in pictures of English rooms and their decoration from the eleventh to the eighteenth centuries. Illustrated throughout, with forty-nine illustrations to the first volume and forty-five to the second. From the library at Julians Park, the former home of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie (Audrey Evelyn James Coats, and Audrey Evelyn James Field). Pleydell-Bouverie was the youngest daughter of an Anglo-American lumber and steel millionaire. Audrey was also alleged to be the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII, although she was also rumoured to be his daugher, or the lover of King Edward VIII. She bought Julians Park in 1940 following her third marriage to the Hon Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. Audrey was a patron of the arts and it is believed that she bound several books herself, as many books from her library were stamped with her name and she owned a group of bookbinding tools. Her circle of friends included Winston Churchill, Coco Chanel and Nancy Mitford. She was featured in Cecil Beaton's 'Book of Beauty' and was regarded as one of the Bright Young Things.A fantastic work which gives insight into the different styles of decor in English homes. In a half crushed-morocco binding. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. The spine has faded as is common with leather of this colour. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional light spots to pages. Fine
