About the book >.>.> Edwin Lutyens the most famous architectural name of the twentieth century. died in 1944. As a memorial three large volumes of his drawings were commissioned from the thousands found in his office. This volume contains his own plans elevations and copious details of the finest examples of domestic buildings on which his huge reputation principally rests; the other two volumes covered his work on corporate and public buildings. But it is the wonderfully inspirational development of his love for the old houses of Surrey – that he shared with his friend and client Gertrude Jekyll that strikes such a warm response from us and results in a constant demand for this one volume. It was not always so. The work of selecting the drawings took so long that by the time the print run had to be decided the Modern Movement had become popular and Lutyens work looked distinctly old-fashioned. The result was that barely more copies were printed than would satisfy the list of subscribers and the antiquarian demand has pushed the price into four figures. (OS)
