Hudson thereafter did all he could to promote the work of a man he admired without reservation commissioning Lutyens to design the magazine's offices in Covent Garden in 1904 as well as three country houses. Country Life published articles about virtually all his buildings shortly after their completion recording them as the architect intended creating an unparalleled visual archive which is the source for this selection of outstanding photographs of Lutyens's domestic architecture." "Founded in 1897 Country Life from the outset published remarkable photographs and the huge influence the magazine exerted was nowhere more apparent than in its unprecedented championship of Edwin Lutyens whose buildings it promoted for almost fifty years. For this book two hundred photographs have been beautifully reproduced from the Country Life archive and combined with Gavin Stamp's illuminating essay provide a unique survey of one of Britain's foremost architects."--Jacket.
