About this work

An engraved portrait shows a seated man with a pen in hand, examining a open book of architectural plates, with a second older man looking over his shoulder. The room has bookshelves, Gothic-style window tracery and draped curtains, and the book pages are labelled with the word Cathedral. The print is titled John Britton, Esq. F.S.A. dated 1820, and was originally drawn by Thomas Uwins and engraved by J. Thomson.
