1936ref. 2927Batsford 1936. 8vo. First Edition with frontispiece 179 fine half-tone plates on 94 and illustrations and plans in the text; blue cloth upper board and backstrip lettered in black endpapers lightly spotted and some occasional light spotting to text else a very good clean copy. With a copy of the publisher's prospectus 8pp with illustrations laid in. Having co-operated so sgnificantly with F.H. Crossley in 'English Church Woodwork' 1917 it is very greatly to be regretted that Howard published further before his death in 1934 at the early age of 45. His renown as an ecclesiastical architect had spread - E.A. Lamborn considered him the only authority whose knowledge of ecclesiastical art in the Middle Ages could be compared with that of the late Sir William Hope. Fortunately Howard had brought the present work so close to completion that Lamborn was able to see it through to publication with very little alteration. Batsford, hardcover
