Views of the Royal Pavilion Book

There are few buildings in the world which are more instantly recognizable, or which more vividly recall the character of their creator, than George IV's Royal Pavilion at Brighton. Astonishing and amusing in equal measures, insubstantial in its fantasy yet monumental in its scale, it is the greatest of Regency follies.

This new edition of Views of the Royal Pavilion reproduces the complete series of aquatints for the first time since they were executed and includes a three-page fold-out of the section through the state apartments. Along with the impressive exteriors, the exquisite details of the music room, banqueting hall, saloon and galleries celebrate the chinoiserie opulence of Frederick Crace's interiors and relay the full extent of George IV's idiosyncratic vision.
