Gretna: The Home of an Industrial Army By Sir Robert Lorimer

An original very early issue of Country Life Magazine dated August 17th 1918 featuring a main article on Gretna: The Home of an Industrial Army. 7 page write up with black and white illustrations of the property and gardens. Country Life Magazine commenced publication in 1897 and these early issues have become highly collectable and a valuable reference to the house owners of today, architects, restorers and renovators and anyone interested in the history of the building. They have an extensive write up with pictures of the building (interior and exterior) and garden as it was at that time. This issue is in very good condition with a lovely portrait frontispiece of Mrs Percy Illingworth.
