Rural architecture, or, Designs, from the simple cottage to the decorated villa : including some which have been executed
A 1802 London architectural pattern book by John Plaw, published by J. Taylor at the Architectural Library, offering designs for domestic buildings from simple cottages to decorated villas for English country clients. The pictures pair measured ground-floor plans, with rooms labelled by use, against sepia elevations of symmetrical villas with tall sash windows, hipped roofs and surrounding trees, which a designer could draw on for period floor layouts and classical country-house facades.
