An elucidation of the principles of English architecture, usually denominated Gothic
An 1831 London architectural treatise on English Gothic, with plates by John Kendall, James Storer and H. S. Storer, published for Sherwood, Gilbert and Piper and illustrating Exeter Cathedral. The engraved plates show measured elevations and details of pointed arches, tracery, piers and canopied screens. A designer could draw on their crisp linework, cusped window tracery and clear architectural drafting for historical ornament, borders and panel patterns.
