Hardcover. Zustand: Good-Very Good. Assume 1st ed. Red black-lettered cloth covers, black cloth spine, covers clean but outward bowing and corner rubbing, unlettered spine has thin splits along much of joints, wraparound protective acetate sleeve as acquired. paginated to p.64 + approx same unpaginated with 8 pp. adverts to end, the majority of the work is taken up with full page architectural drawings, plans and photo-plates, many un-numbered, but l18 full page photos before end advert (i.e. 36 pp.); internally very good being clean and unmarked, slight open creasing to upper outer corners throughout is only flaw. In three Sections: Cottages for Rural and Urban Workers; A Colony of Houses for Munition Workers (at Well Hall, London for Woolwich Arsenal Workers); An Urban Housing Scheme (on Kennington Estate of the Duchy of Cornwall, by architects Prof. S.D. Adshead and S.C.Ramsey). The first section has details of numerous projects across the country (though not I think in Scotland) with architects credited, including two by Clough Williams-Ellis. Although no author given one subsection of Section I is credited to W.J. Swain and the final Section, which has a separate t.p., has a brief introductory opening text by Patrick Abercrombie. Frustratingly I have been unable to find any dates on internal evidence (all plans etc. seem to be undated). The final Section mentions that some preliminary work began in 1915. However the whole tone is early 1920s and seems to be pitched to reflect the post-war concern with 'Homes for Heroes'. Apparently very rare, not on major web-sites at time of listing and not in COPAC.22 cm x 30.5 cm.…
