This book explores the ways in which the windows of the Royal Exchange in London, built in the 16th century, serve as exceptional examples of architectural detail and composition. The author analyzes the building's abundant use of carvings and sculptures, and its significance as an example of Palladian influence in the development of Italian architecture. By presenting several detailed engravings of different sections of the building, the author encourages architectural students to study these windows and use them as inspiration for their own work. The author contends that the windows of the Royal Exchange are examples of the successful integration of architectural and artistic elements, and illustrates how these windows have played an important role in the development of architectural styles.
