An attempt to discriminate the styles of architecture in England, from the conquest to the reformation : with a sketch of the Grecian and Roman orders

Rickman, Thomas, 1776-1841 · 1881 · Oxford : J. H. Parker · 445 pictures

A handbook of English medieval architecture by Thomas Rickman, first issued in 1817 and reprinted at Oxford by J. H. Parker in 1881 for antiquaries, architects and church restorers. Wood-engraved details record lancet windows, clustered shafts, foliage capitals and cusped tracery in close hatched line, giving designers isolated Gothic motifs and stonework textures that reproduce cleanly at small sizes.
