Georgian Architectural Designs and Details - Abraham Swan - Dover Architecture

Georgian Architectural Designs and Details by Abraham Swan brings together a selection of architectural material from one of the 18th century’s most influential writer-designers. Published as part of the Dover Architecture series, this paperback is presented as The Classic 1757 Stylebook.

Abraham Swan is credited with shaping many conventions of English rococo detailing, and the content here reflects that influence through a broad spread of floor plans and detail elevations. The selection also offers a view of the kinds of homes associated with Georgian England and colonial America, illustrating both Swan’s distinctive approach and the wider architectural context in which it sat.
