$a This was the first monograph devoted to a British country-house. The plates show Houghton Hall, built for Sir Robert Walpole between 1722 and 1735 under the direction of Thomas Ripley, from designs by Colen Campbell, James Gibbs and others, with interior decoration by William Kent, architectural relief sculptures by J.M. Rysbrack and stucco by G. Artari. Isaac Ware, draughtsman and publisher of the present work, had been an assistant to Ripley from 1721. (The house also contained a notable collection of paintings and casts, but these are not shown here.) The plates show plans, elevations and sections of the east, west and 'end' fronts; section of the hall and salone; sections of the staircase; ceilings (one of them showing Artari's representation of the Garter Star, awarded to Walpole in 1726); chimney pieces; plan and elevations of the stables. Thirty-three of Ware's preparatory drawings are now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. An issue with corrected numbering of the plates was brought out at some later date - retaining the date of 1735 on the title-plate but adding the words 'and Sold by P. Fourdrinier at the Corner of Cragg's Court Charing Cross'. Another edition was issued in 1760. |
