    Collated, illustrated with 175 engraved plates, numbered I to CLXXVII, four of which are folding, and all of which are the work of draughtsman and architect John Carter. Lacking plates 41 and 165.

    These impressively detailed plates are taken from 'The Builder’s Magazine: or Monthly Companion', a construction periodical that was published in monthly parts between 1774 and 1778.

    Over the course of the publication of 'The Builder's Magazine', 185 plates by Carter were published, with 175 of those plates present in this work.

    An excellent reference work demonstrating the draughtsmanship of the late eighteenth century.
