Synopses & Reviews
Sir William Dugdale's three great works, The Antiquities of Warwickshire (1656), the Monasticum Anglicanum (1655-73), and The History of St. Paul's in London (1658), were lavishly illustrated. This inquiry, which contains sixty-five black-and-white reproductions, focuses on the illustrations. It discusses the high value Dugdale came to place on them, their sources and production, and particularly their meaning in relation to the text.
