Screens and galleries in English churches

Bond, Francis, 1850-1918 · 1908 · London, New York, Toronto, H. Frowde · 37 pictures

A 1908 architectural study by Francis Bond, published in London, New York and Toronto by H. Frowde, documenting medieval screens and galleries in English churches for students of church architecture. The photographic plates are rotated sideways on the page, showing Gothic stone tracery, canopied niches and carved wooden screen work, with names of churches printed beside each view; a designer might take the intricate pierced tracery patterns and repeating arched bays as ornamental motifs.
