Specimens of Gothic architecture and ancient buildings in England : comprised in one hundred and twenty views
A late-eighteenth-century collection of engraved topographical views by John Carter, republished in London in 1839 by L.A. Lewis, for students and admirers of Gothic architecture. The pictures are small, rotated line engravings of ruined abbeys, gateways, and castles, drawn in a plain documentary manner with inscriptions beneath each view; a designer might take their clear outlines, arched openings, and stone-texture hatching as models for period architectural linework.
