Bonney, Thomas George, 1833-1923 · 1896 · London : Cassell · 260 pictures

A two-volume illustrated survey of English and Welsh cathedrals, abbeys and parish churches edited by the geologist and clergyman Thomas George Bonney, published by Cassell in London in 1896 for general readers and ecclesiastical tourists. The wood engravings are tonal interior and exterior views of Gothic architecture, dense with pointed arches, clustered piers, traceried windows, choir stalls and timber roofs, offering designers ready architectural backdrops, arch and vault motifs, and fine crosshatched stonework texture.
