Description:
Illustrated throughout with excellent b&w drawings and plans of the cathedrals,
numerous plates containing high-quality b&w photographs, plus a stunning colour
frontispiece by F. Mackenzie.
Front pastedown and endpaper contain a hand-drawn b&w map showing the locations of
each cathedral, whilst the rear pastedown and endpaper depict a plan of a typical
cathedral, plus wonderful, labelled b&w illustrations of architectural features.
