The Church builder
The Church Builder is an 1862 London publication from Rivingtons, issued by the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels for clergy and church builders. Its pictures are line engravings of individual churches, mostly shown in elevation or at a three-quarter angle, some printed sideways on the page. A designer might take their crisp hatched outlines and Gothic Revival detailing as a model for architectural line art.
