J.s Adam architect, 1767. D. Cunego Sculp Romae.
Published as the Act directs 1775.
Engraving with small margins. Plate 466 x 602mm. 18¼ x 23¾".
Carlton House, London., designs of the trophies for the pediments, panels over the doors, pateras and trophies over the columns and pilasters; Volume I, part 5, "Works in Architecture". Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57, Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi, which was inspirational for both men. Upon his return, the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London, which although not a commercial success at the time, included one of London's most cherished buildings, the Adlephi Theatre. Together, the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England, including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House, Keddlestone Manor, and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses, the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches, lunettes, festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house, an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square, and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time, beginning in 1773, with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.

Fine engraving. platemark 465 x 275mm (18¼ x 10¾"), with very large margins.
Fine engraving after a painting by Gavin Hamilton (1723-98), Scottish painter, archaeologist and dealer. While Hamilton's only identifiable pupil was David Allan, his encouragement assisted and influenced artists in Rome, where he worked, for over thirty years. He was instrumental, for instance, in persuading the sculptor Antonio Canova to abandon Rococo for a more restrained Neo-classical style. As the inscription states, this painting was then in the collection of the duke of Rochefoucault, French writer and explorer.
