CHAPTER 17 - Notes

[381]. See Malton, J., ‘Art Nouveau in Essex’, Architectural Review, CXXVI (1959), 100-4. For a considerably earlier and more extraordinary example of English work approaching the Art Nouveau, see Beazley, E., ‘Watts Chapel’, Architectural Review, CXXX (1961), 166-72. This chapel at Compton, Surrey, was designed in 1896 by Mary Watts, the widow of the painter G. F. Watts. The inspiration seems to have been predominantly Norse and Celtic.

[383]. See Hostingue, G. d’, Le Castel Béranger, œuvre de H. G., architecte, Paris, 1898.

[384]. Both the main façade and the principal interior are essentially the work of Deglane. Louvet and Thomas were more responsible for other elements of the complex structure.

[387]. I owe my knowledge of this remarkable façade to Martin Kermacy. He was unable to find out by whom and when it was built; it is very probably an early work of Josef Urban, Novotny informs me.

[388]. For another rather independent Scottish architect of this period, see Walker, D. M., ‘Lamond of Dundee’, Architectural Review, CXXIII (1958), 269-71.
