Symbolism of animals and birds represented in English church architecture
A 1913 study by Arthur H. Collins, published in London by Sir Isaac Pitman, explaining the animal and bird symbolism carved into English parish churches and cathedrals for clergy, antiquarians and church visitors. Halftone photographs record corbels, capitals, arch mouldings and misericords at close range, supplying beasts, grotesques and foliate heads in weathered stone with strong directional light.
