Plan & Elevation of Rood Loft – Antique Engraving of St George’s Chapel, Windsor, 1789
This finely executed antique engraving presents the plan and elevation of the Rood Loft in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, as it appeared before being dismantled on February 5, 1789. The composition captures both architectural form and decorative detail, showcasing the elegant Gothic tracery, pointed arches, and ornamental medallions that adorned the loft. The symmetrical design is flanked by tall clustered columns, with intricate carvings visible in the spandrels. Below, two heraldic roundels appear, along with detailed plan views of the supporting piers.
Engraved by James Basire (1730–1802), a prominent English engraver celebrated for his precise architectural and antiquarian works, this plate is based on a design by Henry Emlyn (c.1729–1815), the architect and antiquary responsible for significant restoration work at Windsor. The engraving reflects the late 18th-century passion for documenting historic ecclesiastical architecture, particularly as Gothic Revival taste began to influence British design.
The Rood Loft, a significant liturgical feature separating the nave from the choir, was once a richly decorated focal point of the chapel’s interior. This print not only records its appearance but also serves as a valuable historical record of a vanished element of one of England’s most important royal chapels. Collectors of ecclesiastical architecture, Windsor history, or Georgian-era engravings will appreciate its combination of historical accuracy and refined engraving technique.
Condition: Very good impression with age-related toning, some foxing in the margins and a central fold, as issued. Plate mark clearly visible, strong paper.
Framing tips: A dark wood or black frame paired with a soft cream or stone-colored mat will complement the engraving’s fine lines and historic character, allowing the architectural detail to stand out.
