About the Item

James Basire & William Turner Davey A chimney piece in the Bishop's Palace at Exeter Engraving 45 x 60 cm This engraving was originally published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an organisation dedicated to studying and preserving historical monuments. The society commissioned a series of architectural engravings by James Basire, this one based on a drawing by the English artist and engraver William Turner Davey. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This engraving depicts an ornate chimney piece in the Bishop's Palace at Exeter. It features a number of crests and Basire's masterful engraving technique expertly captures the fine masonry of the piece.
