About This Book

A collection of ink and wash sketches paired with concise captions that survey the architectural and topographical features of Bath and Wells. Plates depict the Roman baths, key bridges, prominent churches and public spaces, panoramas from Beechen Cliff and Alexandra Park, and domestic and ecclesiastical details such as the doorway of Beau Nash's house, Vicar's Close, the Bishop's Palace, Chain Gate, and various cathedral views. The sequence alternates exterior streetscapes and close studies to convey both city panoramas and intimate architectural ornament. The volume serves as a visual guide emphasizing form, proportion, and setting rather than narrative.
