Trumpet at a Distant Gate
'The Lodge as Prelude to the Country House.'
Attractive coffee-table book on the lodges & gatehouses of English country houses. "This pioneering study offers the reader a much needed introduction to an extraordinary art form. Far from reflecting their humble function, lodges were the earliest small houses to be architect designed and appeared in a variety of guises from classical temple to Gothic summerhouse, Palladian pavilion to medieval castle in miniature." Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. Small closed tear to jacket.
