antique folios Gothic Architecture historic English buildings, drawings, engravings architectural ornamentation

Volumes 1 and 2 of 'Gothic Architecture selected from various Ancient Edifices in England', A and AW Pugin, 1920. These are folios, loose (not bound) sheets of heavy paper, many many drawings of elevations and ornamental details. Beautiful aesthetic art to enjoy or frame.

This set is two volumes ('five volumes in two', see photos) as originally published, but I have no idea if these are complete as I have not counted or sorted through the pages. The covers look full, and I see very little wear from use although the first volume has spots and soil to the back cover. Pages look clean, and these have no smells.

This set is out of the personal collection of a Boston dealer and historical design consultant. It's a hard to find set, there are not very many copies of this D R Hansen published set around.
