Légende

St. Wolfran, Abbeville, 1871. 'The facade is a truly noble specimen of the flamboyant Gothic. It is covered with a profusion of the richest work, such as the facile chisel and delicate taste of the French masons seem to have delighted in achieving. This grand western front is flanked by two towers of great beauty, whilst the exterior of the clerestory of the nave, connected by flying buttresses and pinnacles with the walls of the side chapels of the aisle, all enriched with elaborate tracery, presents a view of singular elegance and grace. An Illustration of the south-western angle of the cathedral is given, with the quaint and irregular, yet most picturesque, houses that nestle beneath the shade of St. Wolfran'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
