Britton, John, 1771-1857 · 1807 · London : Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme : J. Taylor, at the Architectural Library : and the author · 62 pictures

John Britton's survey of medieval English buildings, issued in parts in London from 1807 for antiquaries, architects and the architectural trade. Line-engraved plates pair measured elevations, plans, sections and mouldings—ruled, lightly hatched, keyed to scale bars—with tonal views of abbeys and priories in landscape; useful for Gothic tracery profiles, arcade geometry and engraved lettering in title cartouches.
