Parish churches; being perspective views of English ecclesiastical structures: accompanied by plans drawn to a uniform scale, and letter-press descriptions

Brandon, Raphael, 1817-1877, Brandon, Joshua Arthur, 1822-1847 · 1851 · London, D. Bogue · 39 pictures

A survey of English parish church architecture by the Brandon father and son, published in London by D. Bogue in 1851 and aimed at architects and antiquaries. The pictures are black-and-white line-engraved perspective views of individual churches, printed sideways on the page, showing towers, gabled aisles, lancet and traceried windows, and churchyard trees. A designer could draw on their crisp hatched stonework and Gothic window patterns for period-style architectural linework.
