Very good copy. 
“There were two further great works of chromolithography produced 
during the ‘fifties’, and one in the ‘sixties’, all by J. B. Waring 
(1823-75), an architect, a Swedenborgian, and in his own later estima- 
tion, a prophet. The larger (indeed one of the largest chromolitho 
books ever produced) was The Arts connected with architecture . . . 
published in 1858 by Vincent Brooks. The page size was slightly 
smaller than Lewis Gruner’s Specimens of ornamental art. It starts 
with a fine ornamental colored title-page and contains 41 plates with 
accompanying text. Waring drew all the plates himself and Vincent 
Brooks lithographed them. Some of the plates, e.g. of marble inlays, 
are in only one or two colours, like plates in The Grammar of Orna- 
ment, but there are several plates of stained glass windows and fres- 
coes which were more ambitious (since they represent depth, shadows 
and perspective as well as design and colour) and were perhaps the 
finest chromolithographed plates yet produced in Britain.’’ —
