Boutell's work provides a fascinating insight into the art and culture of the Middle Ages, as well as the social and political context in which these memorials were created. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of monumental brasses and slabs, including their design, materials, and symbolism. Throughout the book, Boutell provides detailed descriptions of individual examples of brasses and slabs, often accompanied by illustrations and photographs. He also discusses the historical context of each memorial, providing insights into the lives and achievements of the people they commemorate. Overall, Monumental Brasses and Slabs is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and history of the Middle Ages, as well as for those studying the development of commemorative practices and the role of material culture in shaping our understanding of the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
