A series of designs for Gothic monuments, churchyard crosses, sepulchral slabs, and head crosses; together with remarks on some modern erections, and their assumed connection with ecclesiastical buildings--pagan symbolism--unchristian character--position--inscription, etc., etc.
A pattern book of Gothic funerary designs by the architect John Gibbs, published in London by G. Bell in 1852 for masons, clergy and clients commissioning churchyard monuments and memorial slabs. The plates are fine line engravings with grey wash, showing crocketed canopies, cusped arches, finials, foliate crosses and incised slabs in elevation and plan, with handwritten captions; useful for tracery outlines, cross forms, and repeating carved borders.
