Description: | This fine view forms plate 49 of B Winkles. 1836. Cathedral Churches of England and Wales, volume 1. A view in the nave showing centrally the black marble Tournai font, dating from the 1150s or 1160s.
The most surprising part of this print is the artist, H Browne. This is Hablot Knight Browne. He was given his first commission as a book-illustrator by Henry Winkles in the 3-volume Cathedral Churches of England and Wales. Browne drew 25 of the 61 plates in the first volume published in 1836 (of which this is one), 9 of the 59 plates in volume 2 (1838), and none in volume 3. This decline may be accounted for by the fact that in 1836 he had begun his lifetime association with Charles Dickens by working as an illustrator for Pickwick Papers. He then used the pseudonym 'Phiz'.
