James Basire & John Carter
Architectural Details of 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 Albans 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.

Condition: Generally very good.
