Remarks on secular & domestic architecture, present & future
Remarks on Secular & Domestic Architecture, Present & Future is an 1857 London study by the architect George Gilbert Scott, published by John Murray, addressed to architects and the building-minded public on Gothic revival practice. The first picture is an engraved view of a medieval town square with a Gothic cloth hall, a tall campanile, a central fountain, and a palazzo with pointed arches, showing how Gothic civic façades were composed. The second is a plain bookplate with a stag's head, a motto banner reading 'All for the Best', and a name below, useful as a small heraldic device for a designer.
