About the Item

James Basire & John Carter St Albans Cathedral Engraving 62 x 46 cm This engraving was originally published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an organisation dedicated to studying and preserving historical monuments. Recognising it as one of England's most significant medieval structures, the society commissioned a series of engravings of St Alban's Cathedral by James Basire--based on drawings by the architectural draughtsman John Carter. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This striking engraving depicts a cross section of the cathedral, allowing the viewer to appreciate both the architectural details of the exterior and glimpse usually hidden areas of the building including the inside of the bell tower.
