Village Architecture. Being a Series of Designs for the Inn, The Schoolhouse… a Supplement to a Work on Rural Architecture.
London: James Carpenter, 1837.
Quarto, plates; original publisher's quarter calf.
Fourth edition of Robinson's fourth pattern-book, including designs for all types of village buildings from an Anglo-Norman church to a pump. The last of the high-quality plates is a view of the village street which emphasises the irregularity and varied grouping necessary to achieve the desired level of "picturesqueness" - the quality which Sir Uvedale Price described and Robinson believed possible to create.
