Description
English Medieval Graffiti by V. Pritchard The walls and pillars of numerous cathedrals and churches in Great Britain bear witness to a unique form of medieval art: graffiti. Created between the twelfth and early fifteenth centuries, these inscriptions and drawings offer valuable insights into the artistic styles of the time. Mrs Pritchard's study of over two hundred church graffiti, mostly within a sixty-mile radius of Cambridge, reveals a more complex and imaginative side to medieval artistry than previously acknowledged. Her detailed rubbings showcase the skill and precision of these 'scratches' on stone, which have withstood the test of time despite being partially defaced by restoration efforts. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into a neglected corner of medieval art, preserving these curious relics for future generations to appreciate.
