Specimens of Gothic architecture and ancient buildings in England : comprised in one hundred and twenty views

Carter, John, 1748-1817 · 1839 · London : L.A. Lewis · 15 pictures

A late eighteenth-century antiquarian collection of engraved views of English Gothic buildings, published in London in 1839 from drawings by John Carter, made for architects, antiquaries and students of medieval design. Its pictures are plain line engravings of cathedral facades, cloisters, tombs and streetscapes, with a designer taking away their clear pen-and-ink structure, strong verticals and detailed Gothic tracery for architectural linework and historical ornament.
