FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An architect and architectural theorist, George Edmund Street (1824–81) was one of the key proponents of the High Victorian Gothic style in nineteenth-century Britain. He is best known as the mind behind Londons Royal Courts of Justice. Elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1866, Street became its professor of architecture in 1880. In 1874 he received the gold medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects after John Ruskin declined it, and he served as the Institutes president in 1881. Streets Gothic architecture was influenced by continental examples: this book, first published in 1855, serves as an important source for interpreting his output. It is copiously illustrated, arranged as a travelogue of mostly pointed-arch architecture seen in Italy, and covers exterior and interior elevations, sculptural details, metalwork and furniture.
