INIGO JONES (1573 – 1652) was a very influential architect in England and Wales in the early modern period. He was the first person to introduce the classical architecture of Rome and the Italian Renaissance to Britain and to employ Vitruvian rules of proportion and symmetry in his buildings. He made major contributions to stage design by his work as theatrical designer for several dozen masques, most by royal command and many in collaboration with Ben Jonson.
From the estate of Robert Cecil Bald (1901 – 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who moved to the US to teach at Cornell University in 1937 and was then professor at the University of Chicago 1952 – 1965.
