A very interesting and informative catalogue on the architect-designers of the closing decades of the c19th in Britain. Having been hugely neglected in the early c20th, these figures saw a revival of interest and understanding of their work from the 1960s onwards and this slim but useful catalogue gives a good overview of the styles at play.
