About the Item

James Basire, after James Johnson and John Carter The Chancel of Chatham Church, Kent Engraving 50 x 32 cm This engraving was originally published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an organisation dedicated to studying and preserving historical monuments. The society commissioned a series of architectural engravings by James Basire, this one based on drawings by James Johnson and John Carter. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This engraving depicts fonts in Suffolk. The first illustration, originally executed by James Johnson, represents the ornate font in Ufford Church, complete with a uniquely suspended font cover. The second illustration, originally drawn by John Carter depicts a similarly ornate font in St Gregory's Church Sudbury.
