Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Reprint. Paperback. Vanishing England by P. H. Ditchfield and Fred Roe. Couple of tiny creases to front cover. Small nip to front cover. This book, first published in 1910, describes an England that, even in those balmy pre-war days, was fast disappearing. From the architecture of old country houses, village green cottages and public buildings to traditional country fairs, games and customs, this volume is a treasury of English cultural heritage. The author's lament for the thoughtless destruction of irreplaceable national treasures and customs has many resonances in today's post-industrial world. Have we now gone too far? The author certainly thought so in 1910. His nightmares, however, were not high-rise flats and motorways, but iron bridges and the 'modern French style with sprawling gigantic figures and bare limbs hanging on the porticoes'. Fred Roe's delightful pencil drawings offer the most effective and atmospheric visual descriptions of a wide range of architectural and cultural jewels. From Tudor tenements, bridges and castles, to asuperb details of architectural features. Illustrations. 403 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
