The Cathedrals And Churches Of The Rhine

By Francis Miltoun

Book Overview

A doorway into time, The Cathedrals And Churches Of The Rhine opens a window onto the nineteenth-century Rhine as seen by a keen architectural traveller. This is more than a survey of stone and spire; it is an intimate, lucid journey through cathedrals and abbeys, where light, line, and craft reveal the rhythms of medieval church architecture. Francis Miltoun's architectural travelogue offers a concise, vivid historic architectural guide for both casual readers and architecture enthusiasts. His prose sits between keen observation and literary reverie, capturing the gothic church studies that line the Rhine valley-from cathedral exterior design to the subtle details that speak of faith, power, and community. For travel researchers and lovers of Victorian travel writing, the book preserves a now-rare portrait of the nineteenth century Rhine, its churches, and their enduring impact on art and architecture collection. This edition is of lasting value: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting new readers to savour a timeless guide to the Rhine region churches. A compact, evocative bridge between history and exploration, it will delight anyone curious about architectural travelogue, historic architectural guide traditions, and the enduring beauty of the Rhine valley europe.
