Descriptive and historical notices of some remarkable Northumbrian, castles, churches, and antiquities ... With biographical notices of eminent persons
William Sidney Gibson's 1852 antiquarian survey of Northumbrian castles, churches and ruins, published in London by Pickering for county historians and readers of local antiquities. Steel-engraved and lithographed plates show country houses, abbey ruins and riverbanks set behind heavy foliage, with soft grey tonal washes, small staffage figures and wide empty skies useful as backgrounds and vignette landscapes.
