[(Robert Adam: an Illustrated Life of Robert Adam, 1728-92 )] [Author: Richard Tames] [Mar-2008]

by Richard L. Tames

The name of Robert Adam is equated with taste, style and elegance. As visionary in the decoration of interiors as he was ingenious in the design of exteriors, Adam was more often responsible for the renovation, alteration or completion of existing buildings than for the creation of entirely new ones.
