Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral and the competition designs for the New Courts of Justice on the Thames Embankment are among the subjects of these Victorian architectural lithographs by Whiteman and Bass, dating from 1867 to 1876. Parish churches in London, Kent and Essex appear beside the French cathedrals of Coutances and Sens and Gothic details from Blois and Caen, while competition entries for town halls and designs for suburban villas cover civic and domestic building. The decorative arts include Flemish carved oak furniture, ironwork and modern cabinets shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1867, and several plates record the restoration of historic buildings.
