About the Book

: This book offers a concise and broadly appealing exploration of architectural styles that have endured across diverse nations and throughout the course of history. The book delves into the rapid progress achieved in the fields of art and architectural research during the past half-century.

Fergusson's passion for architectural exploration further prompted him to undertake a comprehensive historical and critical comparative examination of architecture as a whole.This endeavor culminated in the publication of "The Illustrated Handbook of Architecture" in 1855, spanning two volumes. This handbook provided a concise and popular account of various architectural styles prevailing throughout different ages and countries. In 1862,
