Specimens of Gothic architecture and ancient buildings in England : comprised in one hundred and twenty views
Specimens of Gothic architecture and ancient buildings in England is a collection of one hundred and twenty views by John Carter, first published in London in 1839 by L.A. Lewis, meant for students and admirers of medieval English architecture. The plates are pen-and-ink drawings, many printed sideways on the page, showing ruined abbeys, cathedral towers and cottages in open landscape with sketchy skies and foliage, offering a designer ideas for ruin compositions, hatched tonal rendering and picturesque antique scenery.
