About This Item
1849 ENORMOUS 1st ed Monumental Brasses English Knights & Bishops Illustrated
Charles Boutell was a 19th-century English archaeologist known for his famous book on English heraldry and monumental brasses. Brasses, which are a form of engraving, were popular forms of memorials used by English and European cathedrals. In 1849, Boutell published an absolutely enormous tome filled with engravings of English brasses, depicting kings, archbishops, bishops, knights, nobles, and other prominent figures from 14th and 15th-century England.
