[Millard, British, 2; Harris, 5].(#  ?H The Works in Architecture is one of the truly magnificent books on eighteenth century English architecture. In it, the Adam brothers showed "the novelty and variety" of their designs, which defined the Adam style and the era. Many plates are incredibly selective, focusing on partial designs and allowing the viewer to provide the missing elements with imagination. In America, the  ? first recorded copy of Adam's Works was in the Library Company of Philadelphia's 1775 catalogue. Later, the Boston bookseller, Benjamin Guild, offered a set of the two volumes for sale, most probably in 1787. Ours is an exceptionally nice copy, bound from the original parts, with all eighty magnificent plates by Piranesi, Bartolozzi, Zucchi, Cunego, and others. The type for Volume II was reset for the second issue with the title pages of the parts dated "1786." There is an early repair to Folio Two of Volume I, Part 4; a long repaired tear through the title leaf of Volume II, Part 1; and some minor soiling throughout. In general, the plates are dark, rich impressions, printed on thick paper. Complete copies are very uncommon in commerce as print dealers prized the plates since their publication. Most surviving copies are additionally soiled and broken, making this copy all the more remarkable.  ?x 3. ANDERSON, Dorothy May. WOMEN, DESIGN, AND THE CAMBRIDGE SCHOOL.`X (#E$65.00  ?

This elegant book was assembled by Thomas Coke, the first Earl of Leicester's chief architect who supervised the building of Holkham from 1734 until the Earl's early death in 1759. Thomas Coke was one of the first Englishmen to take the grand tour and purchased many paintings in Italy for Holkham. When the book was published, there was a protest that Brettingham had not mentioned that the original design for Holkham was made by William Kent with the active participation of Lord Burlington. Brettingham's son replied years later that so many changes were made to the original design that his father considered the finished product to be essentially his own. There is also a certain amount of poetic justice in its publication as Lord Burlington's circle neglected to give Colin Campbell and Gibbs  ?! credit for their work in the Plans, Elevations, and Sections of  ?`" Houghton. In any case, Holkham is a marvelous example of the Palladian style of architecture that became synonymous with English architecture of the period. Eileen Harris in her work in British architecture books cites seventy plates, however this copy collates with the Millard copy which states "the final plates listed as nos. 6669 and described as 'non messo [messimesse] in opera' are not present...which may therefore represent an early version...before they were added," a scarce early version.

The album has varied designs, both in styles and size. Some are as small as 2 x 2 inches, others are 8 x 6 inches and larger. The textiles are of excellent quality. The construction of the album suggest the fabrics were gathered by a Japanese antiquarian to show the breathtaking variety of design possible. Collections like this had great influence on the West, leading to Japanesma, Are Nouveau, and the Asethetic Movement. Their importance cannot be overestimated. The Hesketh Collection was begun by Thomas George FermorHesketh with his visit to Japan in 1880. It is most probable that this album was purchased on one of his early trips, perhaps the first. Thomas was instantly bedazzled by Japan and began to acquire fine items of Japanese craftsmanship. His son continued to build on the initial collection until the time of the First World War. While the vast majority of the three hundred and nine fabric samples in this album are Japanese, there are a number of samples which appear to be Chinese in design.

Catalogue, 2593].(# An exquisite publication with two hundred and eighteen copper engravings and luxuriously wide margins. This edition of Palladio was largely financed by Joseph Smith (16821770), Honorary British Consul at Venice and noted collector and patron of the arts. Frequently referred to as the "counterfeit" edition because of the reference to the first, 1570, edition on its title page, it is now thought of as a quasifacsimile, based on the first edition but substituting engraved illustrations for the original woodcuts. Because of Smith's association with Lord Burlington, himself a great proponent of Palladian architecture, the book was most influential in forming English taste for this architectural style. This copy was inscribed to William Adams Delano (18741940) by George Licht, both architects at Carrere and Hastings. Delano studied at Columbia, Yale, and the Ecole des BeauxArts, and extensively used the neo Palladian style in his own projects. Rare: NUC locates only two copies: at Harvard and the Boston Public.

After his death, nearly one hundred years after Le Blon's, there was no one left who was skilled at producing images using three or four separate plates, one for each primary color plus black. (Just how much ink should the red mezzotint plate hold in relationship to the yellow and blue to produce a flesh tone?) By then, however, chromolithography, Savage's method for color printing, and the Baxter process, were all realities. Prints by Lasinio are rare. This is an especially crisp impression.
