ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses Eastlake's approach to design whereby he used a rustic cart as an example of traditional processes and techniques that were prevalent in the pre-industrial age. The Architect was a British periodical established in 1869 that dealt with structural and decorative art, civil engineering, and building. It ran until 1926, when it merged with the Building News and Engineering Journal to form The Architect and Building News. This review was a report on the text of a lecture delivered to the Spitalfields School of Design in March 1877 by Charles Eastlake. The article was also later reprinted in the American Van Nostrand's Eclectic Engineering Magazine and The Builder magazine. Amongst the art-preachers of the moment who assume the function of revolution-ising industrial design and establishing upon its wreck some better mode, Mr. C. L. EASTLAKE deserves honourable mention.
