Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A short introduction to nineteenth-century decorative encaustic tiles derived from medieval church tiles: how they were made, the designers and manufacturers.More than half the churches in Britain are paved at least in part with nineteenth-century decorative encaustic tiles, and there are many others with striking pictorial tile panels. They are often the most notable features of a church, along with the windows, yet they are rarely mentioned in guidebooks.This book demonstrates their place in the Gothic Revival, how to identify and date them, and lists some of the cathedrals and churches where interesting examples can be found. There are abundant illustrations of the wide variety of designs and the many different arrangements in which they were laid.
