Engraved illustration in James
Paine's 'Plans, elevations, and sections, of noblemen and

private, temples, and other garden buildings; executed' ... By
James Paine, ... Illustrated by seventy-four large folio
plates, in Volume 1 and similar in Volume II Published .1767
and 1783. James Paine (1717–1789) was an English
architect. A Palladian, early in his career he was Clerk
of Works at Nostell Priory, working on many
projects in the area including Heath House in . From the
1750s, he had his own practice, designing villas,
usually consisting of a central building, with a fine
staircase, and two symmetrical wings. The most important house
which he was involved with was Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire
where he succeeded Matthew Brettingham from 1759 to 1760 and
suggested the colonnaded hall, but he was himself displaced by
Robert Adam, who altered his designs. At the same time
he designed the very grand stables at Chatsworth House . He
was a favourite architect of the powerful Catholic families of
the time. In the 1760s he was commissioned to rebuild Worksop
Manor for the Duke of Norfolk as well as the new Thorndon Hall
(1764–70) in Essex for Lord Petre and his house on Park Lane,
London. From 1770 to 1776, he built New Wardour Castle in
Wiltshire . CONDITION: All will have condition issues as Paine
in his wisdom used paper so soft it is almost blotting paper.
It suffers on some from surface abrasion, absorbs every stain
known to man and crease from any moisture in the air causing
mild rippling to the page. Obviously a contributing
factor to them being so rare which with the initial
private printing was not condusive to making money .This
