Winkles's architectural and picturesque illustrations of the cathedral churches of England and Wales : the drawings made from sketches taken expressly for this work : with historical and descriptive accounts
Winkles's Architectural and Picturesque Illustrations of the Cathedral Churches of England and Wales is an 1851 London book published by W. Kent & Co., made by Benjamin Winkles from sketches taken for the work with historical and descriptive accounts. The engravings are steel-engraved interior views of Gothic cathedral naves, vaults and choirs, drawn with fine crosshatched lines and strong raking light. A designer could take from them the rhythm of pointed arches, ribbed vaulting and receding colonnades as a structural pattern or a source for architectural perspective.
