String-tied brown cloth spine and corners and tan paper over boards lettered in red portfolio housing heavy card stock loose sheets (title page, index and plates 1-170 in Volume I; title page, index and plates 171-337 in Volume II).

Handsome complete set of this large collection of detailed architectural renderings by French-English artist and architectural historian Augustus (1762-1832) and his architect son Augustus Welby (1812-52), who together helped spur the Gothic Revival of the early 18th century. This pair's two-volume "Specimens of Gothic Architecture" (1821-23) and three-volume "Examples of Gothic Architecture" (1831) are both contained in this work, here a "Complete Reprint without text." The upper left corner of every card bears the inkstamped name of "A.S. Graven, Inc.," the noted Chicago architectural firm responsible for many of that area's famed movie palaces and other structures.
