Among the most magnificent buildings of England are its Anglican
cathedrals, great symbols of spiritual and architectural power. No
one can fail to marvel at Durham's incomparable Romanesque
masterpiece, the elegant stylistic unity of Salisbury, the world-
amous stained glass of Canterbury or the striking Gothic scissor
arch at Wells. In this breathtaking new book, award-winning Magnum
photographer Peter Marlow has captured the nave of each of
England's 42 Anglican cathedrals. Taken in natural light at dawn,
usually looking towards the east end of the building, these
remarkable images bring into sharp relief the full splendour of the
architecture, whatever the style. Marlow's spellbinding photographs
are accompanied by his commentary on the project, including
sketches and preparatory shots; an introduction by curator Martin
Barnes on the tradition of church photography in England,
particularly the work of Frederick Evans and Edwin Smith; and a
concise summary of each cathedral interior by architectural
historian John Goodall. A special collector's edition comprising a
blocked, cloth-bound hardback edition of the book and a signed,
hand-finished print, 30.5 x 25.4 cm (10 x 12 in.) , placed together
in a handmade, blocked, cloth-bound slip case.
