A series of ornamental timber gable plates published in London in 1831 by Augustus Pugin with Benjamin Ferrey and Edward Willson, drawn from sixteenth-century English and French examples for architects and craftsmen. The plates show gables rotated on the page, with carved bargeboards, tracery, pendants and finials rendered in fine line engraving. A designer could take from them the dense interlaced tracery, leaf and scroll borders, and pierced panels of Tudor-period woodwork.
