Product Details
From the book: “The final decision to build a new cathedral was made in the year 1252, after lightning struck and severely damaged the old cathedral. The people of Chutreaux wished to build the longest, widest, highest, and most beautiful cathedral in all of France. The new cathedral would be built to the glory of God and it mattered little that i might take more than one hundred years to construct it.”
The story continues, masterfully illustrated by David Macaulay’s highly-detailed pen-and-ink drawings. As a student of architecture, Macaulay focused on the intricacies of engineering and art, which when combined, created a magnificent place of worship.
