Book Description

While Victorian artist and architect A. W. N. Pugin is perhaps best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament in the neo-Gothic style, he also produced a wealth of beautiful ecclesiastical designs that hark back to their medieval roots.

This spectacular collection of 59 colour plates, displaying a selection of Pugin's religious motifs, provides graphic artists with a magnificent sourcebook of ideas. This new anthology reveals Pugin's masterful use of pattern, colour and ornamentation - as presented in hundreds of designs that embellish altar cloths, crosses and church vestments.
