The history of St. Pauls cathedral in London, from its foundation untill these times: extracted out of originall charters. records. leiger books, and other manuscripts. Beautified with sundry prospects of the church, figures of tombes, and monuments
Dugdale's 1658 history of St Paul's Cathedral in London, printed by Tho. Warren, was compiled from charters, registers and manuscripts for an antiquarian readership interested in the church's past. Its plates show the cathedral's interiors, tombs and monuments rendered in fine engraved detail, with heraldic shields, inscription panels and Gothic arcades that a designer could draw on for ornamental borders, heraldic motifs and architectural framing.
