Journal of a tour through part of Flanders and France in August, 1773
This 1888 Cambridge edition by W. M. Fawcett reprints James Essex's 1773 travel journal through Flanders and France, and its drawings are of medieval church architecture. The pictures are plain line sketches of arcades, columns, capitals and ground plans, showing how Gothic and Romanesque supports and arches were structured, which a designer could use for classical-style column, arch and pillar motifs.
