The history of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, from its foundation ... : beautified with sundry prospects of the old fabrick, which was destroyed by the fire of that city, 1666 : as also with the figures of the tombs and monuments therein, which were all defaced in the late rebellion : whereunto is added, a continuation thereof, setting forth what was done in the structure of the new church, to the year 1685 : likewise, an historical account of the northern cathedrals, and chief collegiate churches in the province of York
William Dugdale's antiquarian history of St Paul's Cathedral, reissued in London in 1716 by George James for Jonah Bowyer with Edward Maynard's continuation on the new church and the northern cathedrals, made for clergy, antiquaries and subscribers. Engraved prospects of the burnt medieval fabric, tomb and monument plates, ground plans and lettered inscriptions sit alongside foliate printers' ornaments — scrolling acanthus tailpieces, lozenge flower clusters, a caryatid headpiece with fruit swags — usable as rules, spot ornaments and architectural line stock.
