A Victorian architectural plate depicting a tall tapered stone chimney rising in stepped stages. Rectangular blocks, a pitched cap and triangular openings define the upper section, while shading emphasises vertical mass, textured masonry and the solid presence of historic architectural construction. From one of a collection of woodcuts published in the 4th (enlarged) edition of A Glossary of Terms Used In Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic Architecture, which was published in 1845.
