Accompanying the watercolours is a text of historical anecdote and architectural information, supplemented by photographs of similar designs from old architectural pattern books, and of the city itself in a less frantic age... A rare combination of architectural history, social history, contemporary politics, art, and nostalgia for the universal values of home, stability and neighbourhood." - from dust jacket.
