Illustrated catalogue of the exhibition of English medieval alabaster work : held in the rooms of the Society of Antiquaries, 26th May to 30th June, 1910
This is a 1913 catalogue from the Society of Antiquaries of London, compiled by W. H. St. John Hope and Edward Prior, documenting an 1910 exhibition of English medieval alabaster carvings for scholars and collectors. Its pages show carved panels of saints, biblical scenes, and altarpiece reliefs photographed in plain black and white. A designer might take from them the crowded, layered compositions of late medieval relief, with figures packed under canopies and tracery framing narrative scenes.
