Robert Lugar developed a very widespread practice as a country-house architect, which extended to Scotland and Wales as well as throughout much of England.
He also published a number of books of his designs, which doubtless served to publicise his name. He was a practitioner of the picturesque after the manner of John Nash and Humphry Repton, working in a wide variety of architectural styles including the 'Grecian', the Tudor Gothic, and that of the cottage ornée as well as the castellated.
Second edition. 4to (28 x 22 cm). 32 leaves of engraved aquatint plates and plans, plate 19 with a marginal repair, plate 27 with a marginal stain, bookplate; bound in twentieth century calf backed marbled boards. spine worn, red label, gilt lettered; a good copy; 28pp
Abbey Life 33 (for first edition).
