Specimens of Gothic Architecture is an 1895 Edinburgh reissue by J. Grant of a collection assembled by Augustus Pugin and Edward James Willson, drawn from ancient English buildings and meant for architects and students of medieval design. The plates show measured plans, elevations, sections and carved details such as moldings, arches, tracery and a fan-vaulted doorway, with a designer able to draw on their precise linework, repeating tracery patterns and vaulting geometry.
