Handbook to the cathedrals of England
A Victorian travel handbook by R. J. King, published in London by John Murray in 1869, aimed at visitors touring English cathedrals. Its plates are engraved interior views of cathedral architecture, showing naves, chapels, chapter houses and tombs drawn with fine hatched linework. A designer might take from them the rib-vaulted and pointed-arch geometry, the dense grey tonal hatching, and the strong one-point perspective.
