Légende

Exeter Cathedral, 1873. 'The meeting, this week, of the Royal Archaeological Institute at Exeter recalls to mind the local relics of antiquity in that old city and the county of Devon. The Cathedral is, of course, the most imposing monument of architecture; and the view of its west front, in one of our page engravings, will give those who have never visited Exeter a fair notion of its characteristic grace as a Gothic ecclesiastical building. Its history has often been related, and no edifice of this order in provincial England, with the exception of York Minster, is of greater interest. The restorations now in progress, at a total estimated cost of £40,000, under the direction of Sir Gilbert Scott, will give full effect to its beauties'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
