A fine clean First Edition copy of Mark Girouard's "Magnum Opus", "The Victorian Country House", published by Oxford University Press in 1971. This was the first full length study of these lately unfashionable houses to be published, and it marked a turning point in both public and architectural sentiment towards them. Many of the finest extant examples are here discussed and illustrated together with the author's thoughts on the architects whose creations they were and their patrons. An important work of both architectural as well as of social history. Hard covers, large format, 218 pages plus maps, black and white plates, original dust jacket.
