Full Description
Oblong small 4to. 132pp, incl numerous reproductions of drawings (of which 24 are colour). Publisher’s pictorial wrappers. Presentation letter loosely enclosed. Gavin Stamp’s copy.
A selection of drawings from an extensive archive left by the Amsterdam architect Abraham Nicolas Godefroy (1822-1899), a prominent member of the Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Bouwkunst from 1842 onwards. Godefroy’s own executed buildings were not numerous, but the drawings reproduced include several unexecuted projects of his in neo-classical and renaissance styles, as well as some very careful record drawings of seventeenth century buildings in Amsterdam.
