Thomas Chippendale

The Chippendale Society is especially grateful to the late Philip Coyne, former Mayor of Otley and committee member of the Society, for conceiving the idea of this anniversary reprint which is intended to mark the 250th anniversary of the book's original publication in 1754- to the Leeds Art Collections Fund for a substantial interest-free loan towards publication costs in memory of the late Christopher Gilbert- to the Otley Town Partnership programme- and to Peter McGrath (Groundwork Design), our consultant.
