Relics of antiquity, or, Remains of ancient structures, with other vestiges of early times, in Great Britain : accompanied with descriptive sketches
A London antiquarian survey published in 1811 for the proprietors and booksellers, illustrating castles, gateways and other early British remains with descriptive sketches. The engravings are rotated sideways on the page, each showing a stone castle, tower or gatehouse with figures, trees and clouds in a soft tonal aquatint-like line. A designer might take their picturesque, romantic treatment of crumbling masonry, arched gateways and ruined walls for atmospheric landscape backgrounds.
