About the Item
Choir Stalls – Rochester Cathedral Gothic Architecture Engraving, 1790
This finely executed antique print depicts the intricately carved wooden stalls in the choir of Rochester Cathedral, one of England’s oldest ecclesiastical buildings. The engraving is a detailed architectural study showcasing the Gothic canopy work above the choir stalls, complete with pointed arches, crocketed gables, and heraldic shields below—demonstrating the craftsmanship and decorative richness of the period.
The print is composed of two architectural views: the upper portion illustrates stalls in Tilty Church, Essex, offering a comparison in scale and style, while the lower and more elaborate section focuses on the choir stalls of Rochester Cathedral. The heraldic shields beneath the stalls likely represent ecclesiastical or regional patronage associated with the cathedral’s history.
This engraving was drawn by John Carter (1748–1817), a notable English draughtsman and antiquarian renowned for his studies of medieval architecture, and engraved by James Basire (1730–1802), a respected engraver to the Society of Antiquaries of London. The print was published in 1790, as part of a series dedicated to preserving England’s architectural heritage, likely from *Vetusta Monumenta*, a multi-volume work issued by the Society of Antiquaries.
Such prints were essential in the 18th century for documenting ancient monuments threatened by decay or renovation, and this particular work serves as an invaluable visual record of the Gothic furnishings of English cathedrals.
Condition report:
An almost excellent impression with general age-related toning. Some very minor foxing mostly in the margins. Please inspect image carefully for a complete view of condition.
Framing tips:
For best presentation, consider a classic dark oak or black wooden frame with a light cream or warm ivory mat. This will enhance the architectural detail and harmonize with the monochrome tones of the print, while maintaining a historical feel suitable for a study, hallway, or library.
