Art is showcasing the influence of the Victorian era by A. G. Smith. The Victorian era was a period of profound social change and many of these upheavals were reflected in the building styles of the time. Styles of architecture of this period - created for the more affluent and spread by imitation by the rapidly expanding middle class of ethnic Europeans - were characterized by a romantic impulse. The detailed renderings to color illustrate many distinctive Victorian styles and often elaborate embellishments. From the formal evolution of the Victorian home to the earliest Gothic Revival structures of the 1830s and 40s to the grandes 'cottages' of the Gilded Age. This coloring book is published by Creative Haven and has one sided and perforated pages which is appreciated along with the title written on the spine for easy filing. each. At the end of this post, I have included vlog show throughs for a mosey. All opinions are my own and this is not a paid presentation.

Picture captions; Left; High Victorian Gothic Earlville, New York, c1875, combining all elements of the earlier Gothic styles - the pointed Gothic windows, the Italianate tower, stickwork in the gable, and a liberal application of frilly ironwork.The single most characteristic feature of the High-Victorian Gothic style was elaborate coloration, achieved through the use of varied materials on single surfaces and by painting the walls and trim with highly contrasting colors and tones.
