This magnificent reproduction of a rare sourcebook, originally designed for prospective homeowners, designers, and builders of the early-Victorian era includes twenty-one designs for private residences. First published more than a century-and-a-half ago (and highly reflective of Victorian eclecticism), the models range from a charming eight-room house in the English style for $1,025 to a spacious French villa, complete with a wraparound veranda, ten bedrooms, and a walk-in china closet—for $10,441! Additional homes include—among others—a cozy, Swiss-styled chalet; a Tudor cottage; splendid residences with Indian and Egyptian architectural accents; and a two-story home with Anglo-Grecian elements. All designs are accompanied by landscaping layouts, floor plans, elevations, and detailed cost estimates for materials and labor. Of value to students of architectural history, home restorers, preservationists and builders, this richly illustrated book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of readers interested in period architecture.

"During the years of Victoria's reign (1837-1901) a wealth of innovative design was produced, characterised by conflicting desires for tradition and progress. This book reveals the rich variety of styles which emerged, such as revivals of Gothic and Rococo, a new fascination with the East in Japonisme, and the appearance of Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts Movements. Many of the designs are beautiful works of art in themselves, including delicate watercolours executed in exquisite detail. The relationship between design and finished object is explored through the wide range of pieces from the V&A's rich collections. The designs are for the home - from furniture and tableware to wallpapers, textiles and tiles - and they combine to build a picture of Victorian taste and style which will be an indispensable resource for anyone with an interest in the period." - back cover.

'Thirst for information, faith in commerce and industry, inventiveness and technical daring, energy and tenacity, and a tendency to mix up religion with visible success - all these qualities have to be remembered as one embarks on a conducted tour of some of the exhibits of 1851.' The Great Exhibition of 1851 at the Crystal Palace was opened by Queen Victoria and would attract more than six million visitors. Writing one hundred years later, Nikolaus Pevsner makes a brilliant survey of what the Exhibition - 'the final flourish of a century of great commercial expansion' - offered to posterity as the hallmarks of High Victorian Design; also as windows into the mentality of mid-nineteenth-century England.
