First edition.
Twelve folio volumes. (369 x 255 mm.) Complete with all 451 full-page plates, all title-pages, text pages, and indices present. In the extremely rare original cloth-backed publisher's boards, with all original cloth ties. Some mild soiling and wear to back-strips, some light wear and mild intermittent chipping to boards. Plates quite bright. Still, a fine copy of this set, which is scarcely found entirely complete.
This work focuses on three main time-periods as follows: volume I, parts I-IV (1898-1899); volume II, parts V-VIII (1900-1901); volume III, parts IX-XII (1902). Laid-in are a catalogue of wood mantels, architectural hardware, and a signed photographic plate from the Inland Architect and News Record (vol. xvi-no. 8) of architect John Root (1850-91).
