Thomas Archer

A visually rich and engaging monograph on the life and works of Thomas Archer, one of the most overlooked architects of the English Baroque. The book will cover some of the most famous buildings and landscapes of the eighteenth century and highlight the skill of an architect who has lain outside of the architectural mainstream for too long.
