Among the subject of illustrations are Exeter Cathedral, Burghley House, Merton College, and Kenilworth Castle. One of the most important considerations in the undertaking was the qualify of the photographic illustrations. The art of fitly illustrating architecture by means of the camera has not been wildly acquired, and we hold ourselves fortunate in having secured the services of Mr. Charles Latham. Charles Latham (15 May 1847 27 October 1912) was staff photographer of the magazine Country Life in the early years of the 20th century. His first work for Batsford was with the architect John Alfred Gotch on his book Architecture of the Renaissance in England. John Alfred Gotch (28 September 1852, Kettering, Northamptonshire 17 January 1942, Kettering, Northamptonshire was a noted English architect and architectural historian. John Gotch attended Kettering Grammar School and later studied at the University of Zürich and at King's College London. In 1879 Gotch set up a private architectural practice in Kettering which developed into Gotch & Saunders by entering into partnership with Charles Saunders in 1887. They were later joined by Henry Ralph Surridge and they jointly retired in 1938. The practice still exists as Gotch, Saunders & Surridge LLP, or GSSArchitecture. In Kettering, Gotch was responsible for the design and construction of shoe factories, warehouses, houses, shops, offices, banks, hospitals, schools, public houses, sports venues, entertainment venues and a temperance hall. The Practice was also responsible for the design of several First World War memorials, and the alteration and expansion of numerous historic country houses, for example, Madingley Hall, now the Institute of Continuing Education, part of the University of Cambridge. Following the end of the War, Gotch's practice designed and built over 140 branches of Midland Bank and, in association with Edwin Lutyens, Gotch designed the interior of the Bank's former headquarters in Poultry, London which is considered an Art Deco icon. As well as designing many buildings Gotch had an interest in Elizabethan and Jacobean architecture. He was the author of nine books in this field, as well as editor of a book on the history of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Apart from his renown as an architectural historian, he also achieved eminence as a public figure and representative of the architectural profession. He was president of the Architectural Association in 1886-1887, vice-president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1914-1919, and president of RIBA in 1923-1925: the first provincial architect to be appointed president since the formation of the institute in 1834. In addition, he was vice-president of the Society of Antiquaries, a founder member of the Royal Fine Art Commission, a Trustee of the Soane Museum, and president of the Northamptonshire Association of Architects in 1911-1922. In 1924 he received an honorary M.A. degree from the University of Oxford. John Alfred Gotch was appointed the first Charter Mayor of Kettering in 1938. In 2018 a blue plaque in honor of the architect, often cited as 'the man who built Kettering', was unveiled on the former Midland Bank building that he designed in Kettering High Street. RIBA has an archive of Gotch's sketchbooks, topographical drawings and manuscripts whilst further correspondence is held by Northamptonshire Record Office. Historic England hold a series of negatives taken by Gotch and photographs, donated by him, are also held in the Conway Library whose archive of architectural images is in the process of being digitized as part of the wider Courtauld Connects project. Walter Talbot Brown and born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England on 10 July 1852 and was articled to Edmund Francis Law (1810?-1882) in Northampton, England from 1869 to 1874. He was a Pugin Student in 1877. He worked as an assistant to John George Dunn (?-1833) in Birmingham, and to Edmund Sharpe (1809-1877). Brown commenced independent practice in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire in c.1876 and was in partnership with James William Fisher (1857-1936) as Talbot Brown & Fisher from 1880 to 1931. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) in 1880 and a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) in 1894.

First Edition. First edition in the earliest state of the original 125 fascicles, plus the final Supplement, Bibliography, and Introduction, contained in 14 blue cloth clamshell boxes. Large 4to, wrappers (some loose, 2 back wrappers missing) and cloth-backed boards, many of the latter with dust jackets (jackets often with nicks, tears, splits and some with occasional loss); with many prefaces, prefatory notes, titles, half titles, and assorted ephemera, etc., most not included in the book edition; a complete set in the most desirable state. This copy belonged to Fitzedward Hall (1825-1901), the American Orientalist and philologist, and the author of several works on Sanskrit and Hindi, who was, "with another US citizen, Dr. William Chester Minor [the 'professor' in The Professor and the Madman], one of the most important (and most obsessive) collaborators the OED Project's director Sir James Murray (1837-1915) had, and is recognized as such in many of the prefaces to the Dictionary itself" (Wikipedia). The first fascicle, A-ANT, is inscribed to Hall by the editor A. H. Murray three days prior to its publication date of February 1, 1884. "To F. Hall, Esq. D.C.L. / With Compliments and very special Thanks of / James A. H. Murray / 29 Jany. 1884." The second fascicle, ANT-BATTEN, is also inscribed: "To Fitzedward Hall Esq. D.C.L. / with the deeply grateful regards of / James A. H. Murray / Oxford 12 Nov 1885." Says Murray in the introductory matter to A-ANT: "Henry Hucks Gibbs, Esq., M.A., and Fitzedward Hall, Esq., D.C.L. (who have given general help in every direction) .Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Hall have read all but the earliest proof-sheets, supplied deficiencies, and given valuable literary criticism." Later, Murray noted: "Time would fail to tell of the splendid assistance rendered to the Dictionary by Dr. Fitzedward Hall, who devotes nearly his whole day to reading the proofs.and to supplementing, correcting, and increasing the quotations taken from his own exhaustless stores. When the Dictionary is finished, no man will have contributed to its illustrative wealth so much as Fitzedward Hall. Those who know his books know the enormous wealth of quotation which he brings to bear upon every point of English literary usage; but my admiration is if possible increased when I see how he can cap and put the cope-stone on the collections of our 1500 readers." After his death in February 1901 (when the dictionary was up to the letter 'J'), "Murray corresponded with Hall's son to try to find and reference the supplies of quotations his father had noted but not submitted, with unclear results." There are perhaps a couple of hundred or so annotations in the early fascicles by Fitzedward Hall. They are written in a tiny hand, and are often in abbreviated or shorthand form, and frankly, difficult to read, let alone parse. "In 1919-1920, J. R. R. Tolkien was employed by the OED, researching etymologies of the Waggle to Warlock range;[25] later he parodied the principal editors as "The Four Wise Clerks of Oxenford" in the story Farmer Giles of Ham" (Wikipedia).
