Summary:

During the course of his career the eminent interior designer John Fowler, hailed as the 'prince of decorators' (1906-1977), transformed some of Britain's most important historic interiors. His work has a lasting legacy - even today the 'Fowler style' is tacitly accepted as the 'correct' style for the decoration of a period interior. This book, resulting from a one day symposium organized by English Heritage and the Traditional Paint Forum, provides a fascinating account of the work of John Fowler and the radical representation of historic interiors which took place before and after World War II.
