The greater abbeys of England, with illustrations in colour after Warwick Goble

Gasquet, Francis Aidan, 1846-1929 · 1908 · New York ; Dodd, Mead and company · 62 pictures

A 1908 popular history of England's monastic houses by the Benedictine scholar Francis Aidan Gasquet, issued in New York by Dodd, Mead for general readers interested in antiquities. Warwick Goble's colour plates show ruined and surviving abbey churches set in soft watercolour landscapes — mist, heavy foliage, low horizons — useful for muted washed-out palettes, atmospheric architectural backdrops, and Gothic silhouettes.
