About This Item
This is a first US edition of English Cottages and Farmhouses, written by the famed British country/topography writer Olive Cook. It was photographed by her husband, the British landscape and architecture photographer Edwin Smith.
It examines the architectural styles of English country homes and farmhouses, describes their methods of construction, and discusses the place of the farmhouse in English rural life. One reviewer called it a 'masterpiece' and it was a best-seller.
208 pages, 177 photographs.
There is minor fading to the edges of the cover. There is a family-to-family inscription on the front endpaper, which you can remove if you like. Otherwise, this book does not appear to have been read and is in mint condition.
