Pamphlets on English architecture assembled by George Gilbert Scott

Scott, George Gilbert, Sir, 1811-1878, Oxford Architectural Society, Architectural Society of the Archdeaconry of Northampton, Architectural and Archaeological Society for the County of Buckingham, St. Albans Architectural and Archaeological Society. Transactions · 1833 · [England] · 12 pictures

A bound set of pamphlets on English church architecture assembled by the architect George Gilbert Scott, drawing on material from several 19th-century architectural societies in England. The pictures are fine line engravings and lithographs: a ground plan of a church, a classical temple elevation with carved fragments, kneeling medieval figures, and a canopied tomb chest with a recumbent effigy, useful for designers seeking Gothic and classical ornament, tracery, and monument forms.
