Take a road trip back to the 1920s, when motoring was an adventure,
England was an undiscovered country and traffic jams had yet to be
invented! Reprinted for the first time in over 70 years, Sydney R
Jones' guide to exploring England by car offers a fascinating
glimpse of both the delights and the drawbacks of road touring in
the days before motorways. From Cornwall's rocky headlands to the
wild moorland around Hadrian's Wall, and taking in Canterbury, the
Fens, the Peak District and the green hills of the Marches, Jones'
enchanting descriptions and line drawings capture the English
countryside at its most charming. His journeys will enthrall both
armchair holidaymakers and those with a thirst for seeking out
England's finest treasures.
Sydney R. Jones provides the artist with instruction and advice on
drawing houses, including proportion, perspective, light and shade,
and composition. Jones includes details on specific elements
(windows, roofs, gables, etc.) as well as discussion of interior
rooms. This is a facsimile reprint (first published in 1946).
