Two volumes bound together of these fascinating first editions of fundamental works on English ecclesiastical architecture by John Britton, with superb illustrations.

Comprised of; the 1817 first edition The History and Antiquities of the See and Cathedral Church of Winchester, bound with the 1819 first edition of The History and Antiquities of the Metropolitical Church of York.Two books bound in one volume of half calf with marble covered boards.Illustrated with two engraved title pages, additionally, Winchester Cathedral with a frontispiece and twenty-nine further plates, York Cathedral with thiry-four plates [xxx and xxv omitted]. Collated complete from digitised copies held by the New York Public Library and Harvard University via The Hathi Trust.These works were published as part of a monumental, fourteen-volume series on ecclesiastical architecture entitled; Cathedral Antiquities of England: Or, an Historical, Architectural, and Graphical Illustration of the English Cathedral Churches andproduced by Britton between 1814 and 1835.The series included surveys of the Cathedrals at Salisbury, Norwich, Winchester, York, Lichfield, Oxford, Canterbury, Wells, Exeter, Peterborough, Gloucester, Bristol, Hereford and Worcester.The copious beautiful plates required a remarkable collaboration between multiple renowed artists and engravers.With many ambitious ventures such as this having failed during the nineteenth-century, Britton is celebrated as an early populariser of the genre of vast, detailed topographical works.
