Handbook to the cathedrals of England
A nineteenth-century English guidebook to cathedral architecture, written by R. J. King and published in London by John Murray in 1869 for travellers and students of church building. Its pictures are black-and-white line engravings of the crypt and nave of St Paul's, with a ground plan of the cathedral and a site plan of an older church; a designer might take their dense hatching, arched vaulting and clear plan diagrams as reference for architectural linework.
