A record of Friar Park at auction

This special black-and-white edition reproduces the 1919 estate auction catalogue for Friar Park, offered for sale after the death of its original owner and creator, Sir Frank Crisp. The estate is known today as George Harrison’s home, but the catalogue belongs to an earlier chapter in its history. With architecture as its subject and only 30 pages, the volume offers a compact documentary glimpse of the property as it was presented for sale in the early twentieth century. Its vintage-inspired design is intended to evoke an old shop-worn publication rather than a glossy estate album.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those interested in Friar Park’s history before George Harrison’s ownership.
  • Readers collecting historical auction catalogues or vintage-style facsimiles.
  • Architecture and country-estate enthusiasts.

Book overview

Famous as the home of musician George Harrison, Friar Park has been one of the finest country estates in England, with beautiful architectural structures and gardens. This is a Special Edition of the original 1919 Estate Auction Catalogue when Friar Park was put up for sale following the death of its ideator and original owner Sir Frank Crisp.Potential readers should be assured that we purposely design our books to be reminiscent of vintage publications. These are clearly not designed to look like shiny, glossy, coffee-table style books. They are designed to look like someone found them at the bottom of a stack of books, in a dusty old antique shop. Rather than being beautiful, the publishers chose to do something a bit more interesting and creative.
