Summary
"My aim is to to give details about the life and work of 18th Century craftsmen, and in particular those who decorated in various ways the large country houses. I have said little about the decorative painters and sculptors - already as the Bibliography indicates , the subject of learned study - but considerable attention is paid to the plasterers , wood carvers, and workers in metal."
