First and apparently only edition. In this very interesting work Lethaby and Swainson discuss every aspect of the building of Saint Sophia, from furnishings to mosaics to glass to plaster, and so forth. They also use information supplied by travellers. Lethaby was an architect, and first professor of design at the Royal College of Art; he was much influenced by William Morris and Philip Webb, and exercised an important influence on later architects. This copy comes from the library of Henry Myron Blackmer, but it was not included in the Blackmer Catalogue.
