Ce catalogue a été édité à l'occasion de l'exposition Inigo Jones and the Stuart School présentée à Whitehall, Banqueting House, à Londres, du 12 juillet au 2 septembre 1973. Cette exposition avait été organisée dans le cadre des célébrations du quatre centième anniversaire de la naissance de l'architecte anglais Inigo Jones et de l'achèvement d'une de ses oeuvres majeures : Banqueting House à Whitehall. Stephen Orgel et Roy Strong venaient également de publier le catalogue raisonné de ses dessins. "This exhibition sets out to re-discover and to re-define Inigo Jones within his own age. As a Renaissance uomo universale, the ideal Vitruvian architect-engineer, his activities span practically every field of the arts in early seventeenth-century England. Jones was an architect, painter, engineer, designer, connoisseur, collector, author, theoretician and, at the same time, a remarkably coherent intellect."
