The Lives of British Architects from William of Wykeham to Sir William Chambers
Pictures and short extracts from The Lives of British Architects from William of Wykeham to Sir William Ch ambers by E. Beresford Chancellor, M.A., F.R.Hist.Soc., 1909.
I have marked these images as not for commercial use: the author lived from 1868 to 1937, according to the Library of Congress catalogue, so that copyright expires in 2007 (70 years after the author’s death) but the images may have separate copyrights.
There are copies of this book online, probably in the erroneous belief that anything before 1923 is out of copyright: it’s true only for things published and printed in the USA, and this book was published and printed in London.
