Illustrated with two double page sketch plans, three plates, and an extra-illustrated plate to the rear with an image of a candelabra pasted in. A detailed guide to Gloucester cathedral which originated with the establishment of a minster, Gloucester Abbey, dedicated to Saint Peter in around 679. Embracing descriptions of the painted windows, ancient paintings, and inscriptions found within the architecture. Written by Henry Haines, a British reverend. Revised and corrected up to the present time, and illustrated by Frederick Sandham Waller, a British architect and antiquarian of Gloucester, where he was the resident architect to the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester Cathedral. Dated from Canterbury Cathedral Library. Bound in half calf with cloth covered boards with the original paper wraps bound in to the rear.
