Some designs of Mr. Inigo Jones and Mr. Wm. Kent

Jones, Inigo, 1573-1652 · 1744 · [London] : Published by John Vardy · 14 pictures

A 1744 London folio of architectural designs published by John Vardy, collecting drawings attributed to Inigo Jones and William Kent for craftsmen and builders working in the English neoclassical manner. The plates show engraved chimneypieces in elevation, with pilasters, carved consoles, pediments and urn finials, plus a garden building drawn as elevation and plan. Their crisp line work and classical ornament offer a designer reference for period mouldings, fireplace proportions and rococo-free Palladian detailing.
