Contrasts: Or, A Parallel between the Noble Edifices of the Middle Ages and Corresponding Buildings of the Present Day - Cambridge Library Collection - Art and Architecture
A. W. Pugin
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812–52), architect, author and interior designer, was among the most important figures in Britain's nineteenth-century Gothic Revival. First published in 1836, Contrasts is his most famous work, and this revised second edition of 1841 champions medieval architecture by satirically comparing it with 'debased' Regency equivalents.
