About the Item

James Basire & John Carter Floor plan of St Albans Cathedral Engraving 61 x 95 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. This particular edition depicts the architectural floor plan of St Albans Cathedral. The cruciform architecture is striking, as portrayed from an aerial view. Basire and Carter also expertly preserve the finer details of this beautiful cathedral in these plans, depicting the details of the floor tiling and the masonry of the columns. This attention both to the architecture and the details produces a unique overall view of the cathedral.
