Winkles's architectural and picturesque illustrations of the cathedral churches of England and Wales : the drawings made from sketches taken expressly for this work : with historical and descriptive accounts

Winkles, Benjamin · 1851 · London : W. Kent & Co. (Late D. Bogue) · 22 pictures

Winkles's Architectural and Picturesque Illustrations of the Cathedral Churches of England and Wales is a London publication of 1851 by Benjamin Winkles, issued by W. Kent & Co. for a general readership interested in English church architecture. The steel-engraved plates show cathedral exteriors and interiors in fine black-and-white linework, with small figures placed for scale, so a designer could draw on their clear one-point perspectives, Gothic tracery, ribbed vaulting and receding colonnades for historical or architectural compositions.
