Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Historical and Descriptive Guide to York Cathedral and Its Antiquities
The work of Mr. Halfpenny, entitled Gothic Orna ments in the Cathedral Church of York, has a value far beyond that which it shares with all drawings of the details of medimval art, from being the only authentic memorial of several parts of the Cathedral destroyed by the fire of 1829. Partly on this account, and partly from the great number of subjects of which it gives engravings, it is largely referred to in the present volume.
