Author: TRACY Charles & HARRISON Hugh Title: The Choir-Stalls of Amiens Cathedral.
Description: Reading, Spire, 2005 192pp, 123 illustrations. Cloth. Fine copy, dust wrapper. A superbly illustrated survey of one of the great examples of monumental joinery and carving in the world. The Amiens stalls date from the early 16th century. This fine work analyses the background to these stalls (the influence of the Italian Renaissance is unmistakable) and - for the first time - carefully analyses their structure and joinery. "A masterly and scholarly work" by two experts in the field.
