FIRST EDITION. 'The Designs of Inigo Jones is an impressive and important book. Yet oddly enough more influential than any single building depicted in it were its plates of doors, windows, niches, etc. These plates seem to have had a formative effect upon Gibbs's Book of Architecture (1728) and from that point on became a standard feature of eighteenth-century pattern books' (Harris p.251). Archer 166.1; Harris 385; Fowler 162; RIBA 1624.
