Edwin Lutyens, one of the most famous architectural names of the
20th century, died in 1944. As a memorial, three large volumes of
his drawings and photographs were commissioned from the thousands
found in his office, and were published by Country Life. All
three volumes will be republished in 2023. The first volume
contains his own plans, elevations and copious details of the
finest examples of his domestic buildings, on which his huge
reputation principally rests. The book embodies the quintessence of
the man and his work; the variety of style and design seen in the
houses brings together in one volume the many strands of Lutyen's
fertile mind. Two further volumes will include his corporate and
public buildings. The genius of Lutyens is now universally
recognised. In the work featured in this book, we can now see not
just the professionalism of a great architect, but also the loving
care with which he set down the most minute detail, with the result
that this is one of the few books in existence that can be used to
provide working drawings.
