Essays on archaeological subjects, and on various questions connected with the history of art, science, and literature in the Middle Ages
Collected antiquarian essays by Thomas Wright, published in London in 1861 for scholars and collectors of medieval art, science and literature. Small wood-engraved cuts isolate excavated objects—studded metal fittings, carved wooden coffins, cast bronze brooches and ornamental terminals—drawn in fine hatching against blank grounds, useful as spot illustrations, ornament silhouettes, or riveted and punched pattern motifs.
