London: Quarterly Review, 1854. Booklet - Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. Item #375335
35 pages. Mid-century architecture is assessed with an eye to its revival of historical styles and its uneven execution in public works. Leeds contrasts genuine artistic progress with the shortcomings of contemporary buildings, arguing for higher standards, clearer purpose, and a more disciplined architectural vision. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 16 x 24 cms. Category: Quarterly Review; Special Interest.
