Selected etchings by Piranesi, series 1

The Liverpool Sketch Book.

Reading edition

“The Liverpool Sketch Book” records a selection of the best designs and measured drawings executed by students of the School of Architecture of the Liverpool University. This School of Architecture, under the direction of Professor C. H. Reilly, M.A., F.R.I.B.A., has become closely identified with the modern movement for the development of classical design and the careful study of monumental work. It is conducted on the most scholarly lines, embodying the best methods of the French and American schools, and the results achieved have been approved by all the leading men of the profession.

The illustrations in “The Sketch Book” are beautifully printed on thick art paper, and the volumes will be found particularly interesting and useful to all students. In view of the fact that for the Final Examination of the R.I.B.A. four testimonies of study are now required, the designs and details illustrated in these volumes, which show how similar problems have been dealt with, should be found of the greatest possible value.

In addition to work by present students of the School, and the work of the Travelling Scholars, that of its old students, and others connected with it directly or only sympathetically, is also included, the object being to present a consistent and definite architectural outlook rather than a mere collection of drawings.
