About the Item

John 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 in 1810 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. This particular engraving is especially striking, as Carter expertly creates contrasts between light and dark, giving his work a strong sense of depth and conveying the impressive stature of St Albans Cathedral.
