Sovraccoperta
New York, Abrams, 1992. Hardcover. Tan cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with black and pink lettering. 128 pp. 130 illustrations, 99 in full color. Sir John Soane (1753-1837), the son of a bricklayer, rose to become one of England's greatest architects as well a remarkably astute collector of objects and works of art. His house, in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London, was bequeathed to the British nation by a private Act of Parliament in 1833 for the benefit of "Amateurs and Students of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture," and the building itself and the collections within now comprise a unique, and extremely popular, public museum.
