Pillar to Post
by Osbert Lancaster
It’s very hard to be funny about architecture, but he’s good at doing funny drawings of whatever it might be – a Norman church or a Roman temple with a slightly hungover legionary in front of it. He’ll do a picture of an English Renaissance church and outside it a crane about to knock it down and 30 workmen.
Interviews where books by Osbert Lancaster were recommended
The best books on British Buildings, recommended by Harry Mount
Bestselling author Harry Mount thinks that the British sell themselves short when they fail to appreciate their architecture. He also expresses his thanks that Christopher Wren didn’t redesign London on a Parisian/New York grid system following the 1666 fire.
