Hardcover. Condizione: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The Intimacies of George Shaw (1810â€"76): Diaries and Letters of a Gothic Architect, Antiquary, and Forger provides an important account of George Shaw's formative years as an architect and antiquary by presenting extensive edited extracts from his di…aries and correspondence. Shaw's letters reveal how he leveraged antiquarian knowledge to produce fake Tudor furniture sold as genuinely ancient relics to Northern aristocrats. Having worked for his family’s woollen mills as a teenager in the 1840s George Shaw, (1810â€"76) ,operated a sizeable architectural practice in Uppermill. Building and reworking churches and homes, his firm also created painted glass, cast-iron work, and furniture. Hardback with dust jacket. Illustrated with colour and black and white photographs. Page edges and dust jacket are slightly shelf worn. Copyright © Chetham Society.
