This intriguing volume, inspired by the restoration of the monument in the 1990s, describes not only that refurbishment but also the original building of the monument, its innovative design by George Gilbert Scott, its construction, its sculptures and its mosaic and metalwork ornamentation. It is full of illustrations of the original building, and the designs, and those involved at all stages, and of detailed photos of the conservation work undertaken recently. The memorials design combined structural innovation with a brilliantly inventive handling of Gothic precedents ... Shouldnt you read about it? It is an attractively tall narrow hardback, as befits the monument.
