Architectural Drawings From the Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects. 1961

The Drawings Collection of the RIBA Library dates from the foundation of the Institute in 1834, but it is only in very recent years that it has emerged from a rather haphazard accumulation of original documents into a fully organised major collection. As a record of English architectural draughtsmanship from the sixteenth century to the present, the Collection is almost certainly unique, although there are still a few periods, unhappily, which are not as well represented as we could wish. Illustrated.
