Architecture.- Over (Charles) Ornamental Architecture in the Gothic, Chinese and Modern Taste, first edition, 54 engraved plates, contemporary calf, gilt, a little rubbed, [Harris 606; Berlin Kat. 3417], 8vo, for Robert Sayer, 1758.⁂ Eileen Harris writes: "The majority of Over's designs for garden ornaments may be variations upon Halfpenny's works, but there may be a few novelties that merit attention. His 'Umbrella seat in the Indian manner' is, according to Eleanor von Erdberg, the first use of the umbrella as a functional structure."
