A glossary of church ornament and vestment costume compiled and illustrated by Augustus Welby Pugin, with lithographs by the Hanhart brothers, published in London by Henry G. Bohn in 1844 for ecclesiastical designers and antiquarians. The plates show gilded and coloured medieval Gothic patterns: diaper panels, shield-shaped roundels with heraldic beasts, fleur-de-lis borders and crowned monograms, offering a ready source of historic motifs for designers working on Gothic revival surfaces.
