Architecture.- Jones (Inigo) The Designs...consisting of Plans and Elevations for Publick and Private Buildings. Published by William Kent, with some Additional Designs, 2 vol. in 1, first edition, lacking half-title and engraved allegorical frontispiece (both often missing), with engraved title-vignettes incorporating portrait of Inigo Jones and head- & tail-pieces and initials, list of subscribers, and 97 engraved plates by Fourdrinier and others, many double-page or folding, [Fowler 162, lacking frontispiece; Harris 385; Millard British 34, lacking half-title], folio, 1727.

⁂ "The Designs of Inigo Jones is an impressive and important book. Yet oddly enough more influential than any single building depicted in it were its plates of doors, windows, niches, etc. These plates seem to have had a formative effect upon Gibbs's Book of Architecture (1728) and from that point on became a standard feature of eighteenth-century pattern books."
