This volume is a unique compendium of the works of Robert and James Adam, both built and unbuilt. It includes 900 illustrations. "The Complete Works of Robert and James Adam" is reprinted here in its entirety, updated and corrected. This title covers every one of the 230 or so built works, including 12 that have been recently discovered. It is complemented by a completely new title, "Unbuilt Adam". This mentions all the brothers' important unbuilt projects, and it discusses and illustrates 130 of them. This volume gives an exceptionally thorough review of the brothers' designs. From public buildings to country houses, and monuments to ceilings, it is well informed and erudite. It provides a mine of information for both the expert and the general reader, and it uses the works covered to give an understanding of the Adam manner. This is the definitive collection, one complete source of Adam 260 executed and 230 unexecuted works. It features detailed descriptions with photographs, drawings, plans, elevations and sectional drawings.
