Catalogue Note
"William Thomas based his Original designs on Robert and James Adam's Works in architecture... Thomas's designs are more modest than those of the Adam brothers... However, his designs have some charm and simplicity, and the book was undoubtedly a good advertisement for his business" (BAL RIBA).
