$a The Introduction states that the Society entrusted the supervision of the work to Sir Henry Englefield and Joseph Windham. All plates are signed as drawn by John Carter and engraved by James Basire. Each carries the publisher's imprint of the Society of Antiquaries of London. The RIBA catalogue states, 'The work was published in printed paper boards or wrappers, bearing a very similar title to that on the fly-title, and the imprint "London: Printed By W. Bulmer & Co. And Sold At The Apartments Of The Society In Somerset Place, And By Messrs. White, Robson, Nicol, Leigh & Sotheby, Brown & Egerton. 1797" (see ESTC t015075)'. |

$a A variant title is carried by the added engraved title-plate (plate I): 'Plan, Elevations, Sections and Specimens of the Architecture and Ornaments of the cathedral church at Exeter'. The publication-date of 24th April 1797 is carried on the added engraved title-plate and all other plates. A cathedral had been established at Exeter in 1050, on the site of a monastery founded ca. 670 A.D.; and Romanesque towers of the 12th century survive over the transepts; but the plates here show the Gothic building of the 13th and 14th centuries. As C.L. Eastlake notes in his History of the Gothic Revival (1872), Carter produced 'illustrations of a more useful and practical kind' than those of his predecessors; which placed the study of Gothic architecture on a firm footing. Carter became the first official draughtsman to the Society of Antiquaries. This account of Exeter cathedral was followed by similar accounts of Bath, Durham, Gloucester and St. Alban's. |
