The Touchstone of Architecture is a 1829 work by sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield on the subject of architecture. It explores the history of architecture in detail, looking at historical ideas and architectures with a focus on their relationship with art. Sir Reginald Theodore Blomfield RA (1856 - 1942) was a famous British garden designer, architect, and author during the Victorian and Edwardian period. Other notable works by this author include: Nottinghamshire: New Church (1890-92), Sussex: New House and Gardens (1891), and Hertfordshire: Alterations (1892)Contents include: State-Aided Training in Art in England, The Artist and the Community, Famous Men, The Outlook of Architecture (1913), Atavism in Art, The Bridges of London (1815-1920), The Tangled Skein. Art in England, 1800-1920, Greek Architecture, Christopher Wren, etc. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in architecture and some of it's most accomplished practitioners. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book today in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on architecture.
