For a thousand years, cathedrals have been an enduring and characteristic feature of the English scene. They have survived the centuries and are now more highly valued than ever.
With a 39-page introductory essay by C. L. S. Linnell on the origins of cathedrals, their changing use from monastic to present times, and the history of how and by whom they were built, ENGLISH CATHEDRALS IN COLOUR is made even more enjoyable with 24 full-page color photographs of 17 cathedrals by A. F. Kersting.
The color photographs, most specially taken for this book, give an extraordinarily vivid impression of these noble buildings: Salisbury, Wells, Gloucester, St. Paul's, Durham, Norwich, Worcester, St. Alban's, Winchester, Canterbury, Lincoln, Ely, Exeter, Lichfield, Peterborough and York. In addition to the more familiar views of nave, west front or choir, the pictures include a number of close-ups of, for example, medieval stained glass at Canterbury, a colored effigy at Winchester, Tudor and Baroque monuments at Gloucester, and the crypt at Worcester.
And Linnell’s historical and architectural information gives added meaning equally to the pictures or to a visit to the cathedrals themselves.
The 94-page hardbound book was printed in the Netherlands and published in 1960 by B. T. Batsford, London. It is in Very Good condition, with no apparent defects on the covers or inside pages. There is a label with a previous owner’s name on the first endpaper. The dust jacket is present, but shows some wear and tears on the edges. (6100)
