Life in the eighteenth century in British large towns and cities. As New copy with no inscriptions, in a As New unclipped dust wrapper. 288 pp illus. throughout with contemporary prints, plans and diagrams. The Georgian era saw a transformation in the design and appearance of cities and towns in the British Isles. Many narrow, higgledy-piggledy streets in city centres, and open meadows on their outskirts were replaced by regular terraces of new town houses built to the classical designs pioneered by Inigo Jones. The lighting, paving and cleaning of streets, the supply of water and the general servicing of the town house, and the development of the town garden, also coloured the Georgian lifestyle. As well as examining closely the building practices of the time, Life in a Georgian City offers a revelatory account of what it must have been like to live, work and pass the time of day in the eighteenth-century city. Owners of Georgian properties and architecture students will find the chapters on the interiors of houses of particular interest for the source material they provide on proportion, paint colours and fittings.
