The architectural antiquities of Great Britain : represented and illustrated in a series of views, elevations, plans, sections, and details, of various ancient English edifices : with historical and descriptive accounts of each
John Britton's multi-volume survey of medieval English buildings, issued in London from 1807 by Longman and the Architectural Library for antiquaries, architects and their draughtsmen. The plates are line-engraved measured drawings — nave elevations and sections with scale bars, plans, capital and moulding profiles, chevron-carved Norman doorways and traceried windows — giving designers precise architectural ornament, repeating arcade rhythms and engraved stonework texture.
