The ancient half-timbered houses of England
A survey of medieval half-timbered houses in England, written and drawn by Matthew Habershon and published in London by John Weale's Architectural Library in 1836 for architects, builders and antiquarians. The engravings show timber-framed house fronts with steep gables, leaded windows and projecting upper storeys, set among trees and garden walls, many printed sideways on the page, so their dense crosshatched linework and gabled silhouettes give a designer a clear model for historic timber framing and pen-and-ink architectural rendering.
