Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 8vo, xviii, 595pp, marbled fore-edges and matching marbled endpapers, contemp. full calf double gilt ruled outer borders, profuse gilt decorated spine in compartments with raised bands with contrasting morocco title label, slightly sunned on spine. A VG+ clean copy. An extensive acco…unt of the church architecture of Belgium, Germany and Italy by Webb (1819-1885), honorary secretary of the Cambridge Camden Society/Ecclesiological Society, and in his Cambridge days as partisan a Gothicist as his close collaborator J.M.Neale. By 1848 Webb, although still keenest on great Gothic churches, shows himself much more tolerant of other architectural styles and his descriptions of the renaissance churches of Rome and the modern churches of Munich can be read calmly by any interested person. His book was however one of the routes by which English Gothic Revival enthusiasts became aware that a knowledge of the mediaeval architecture of the European continent was relevant to their own subject, and is as such important.
