About the Item

James Basire & Henry Emlyn Plan and Elevation of the Rood Loft in St George's Chapel at Windsor Engraving 47 x 55 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 Henry Emlyn. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This engraving depicts the plan and elevation of the rood loft in St George's Chapel in Windsor. The strong lines and striking shapes stand out in this work, with the two cross sections of each column leaving a particularly strong impression.
