Sobre este artículo
1726 Canterbury Cathedral 1ed Monastery Dart Illustrated Architecture 100+ ARMS
John Dart was an early 18th-century English historian who is primarily remembered for his historical perspectives of Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. The latter, perhaps his best work, is considered one of the most important histories of the cathedral church at Canterbury as well as the once thriving monastery in Canterbury.
While the historical contents of this enormous folio first edition of Dart's "Canterbury" are important, the subscriber pages are perhaps the most interesting aspect of this work. Unlike most works from this era, this book features engraved views of each subscriber's arms – hundreds of illustrated figures of coats-of-arms! Other full-page engravings appear throughout this book – views of tombs, portraits, and places of rest of English saints and nobles.
