Sobre a obra
This is one of 12 designs that were probably originally bound as a booklet for the antiques dealer Edward Hull. They are based on gothic Perpendicular examples and motifs. Hull supplied medieval artefacts for clients and furniture made from medieval fragments, therefore it is likely that these designs were either a book of ideas for Hull or something for him to show to customers.

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-52) is widely considered as one of the most significant and influential architects, designers and theorists of the 19th century. Following his conversion to Catholicism in 1835, he identified the Gothic style with Christian architecture and his work and writings inspired and framed the Gothic Revival. In 'Contrasts', published in 1836, he condemned classical forms and ardently praised 14th and 15th-century architecture. Pugin is best remembered for his work on the Palace of Westminster.
