A fine clean First Edition copy of "The National Trust Book of Ruins", by Brian Bailey, published on behalf of the Trust by Weidenfield and Nicolson in 1984. The picturesque, melancholy beauty of ruined cloisters, roofless medieval halls and crumbling towers excites the imagination as powerfully today as it did when the Romantic Movement first flowered in Britain in the eighteenth century. It was then that ruins began to be appreciated for their intrinsic beauty and not just as a convenient source of building material. Hard covers, large format, some 256 pages, mainly black and white illustrations plus some few in full colour, original dust jacket.
