Summary:

"Edward Jerman, the designer of some of the most prestigious secular buildings in the City of London following the Great Fire of 1666, was a metropolitan master-craftsman." "Considered 'the City's most able known artist' by the Mercers' Company, in 1667 Edward Jerman was invited by a committee composed of the Corporation of the City and the Mercers' Company to make designs for the new Royal Exchange. Forty-four halls of the Livery Companies were destroyed by the Fire, and of the forty-one that were rebuilt Edward Jerman was commissioned to design eight. Of these, four belonged to the influential Great Twelve Companies." "Jerman's major designs - eight Livery Company halls, St Paul's School and above all the Royal Exchange - received acclaim from contemporary critics. This book celebrates his contribution."--Jacket
