Four letters on the ecclesiastical architecture of France / addressed to John Gage ... Director, by Thomas Rickman

Rickman, Thomas, 1776-1841 · 1833 · London : Royal Society of Antiquaries · 6 pictures

Thomas Rickman's 1833 study of French church architecture, published in London by the Royal Society of Antiquaries and addressed to John Gage, director of the society, compares French medieval churches with English ones. The engraved plates show baptismal fonts in profile and three-quarter view, with cup-shaped bowls on plain stems and stepped or octagonal bases, giving a designer clear examples of Gothic font proportions and moulding profiles.
