Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Christian Symbolism In writing and publishing this little Handbook we have been actuated by a desire to supply, in some slight degree, a want which has been much felt by the students of Christian art. We trust that it will be understood, however, that we have not had any idea of rivalling the many learned works on the subject which have been published both in this country and in France, from which we have received much valued information, and to which we must refer those who wish to go deeply into the study of Christian Symbolism.

Book excerpt: Fully illustrated With LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS , it takes us through the various art and symbolism associated with Christianity. Chapter subjects include; The Nimbus, Aureole, and Glory; The Nimbus of Angels and Saints; The Symbols and Emblems of God; Symbols and Emblems of the Trinity; The Varieties of the Cross; Monograms of the Saviour's Name; Emblems of the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension; Symbols of Baptism and the Eucharist; Symbols and Emblems of the Evangelists and the Apostles; and Emblems and Attributes of the Saints.The Audsleys, William James and George Ashdown, were successful Liverpool architects, who practised from about 1860 to 1883, designing many churches and public buildings. Among their buildings are the Presbyterian church of Wales, Princes Avenue, Liverpool (1865), the Synagogue, Princes Road, Liverpool (1875) -- one of their finest buildings -- the YMCA, Mount Pleasant, Liverpool (1875-7) and the Church of Edward the Confessor, Philadelphia (see J. Quentin Hughes, Liverpool, London, 1969). The Audsleys were among the best known nineteenth-century "ornamentists" and helped to lead (with Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser), the revival in English decorative design that had begun after the Great Exhibition of 1851. They published a number of books on ornament and architecture including The Sermon on the Mount (London, 1861) -- one of the finest of contemporary "illuminated" books -- A Handbook of Christian Symbolism (London, 1865), Cottage, Lodge and Villa Architecture (Glasgow, 1868), Outlines of Ornament (London, 1881) and Polychromatic Decoration (London, 1882). George Audsley collaborated with Maurice Ashdown Audsley in The Practical Decorator and Ornamentist (Glasgow, 1892) -- one of the last major British chromolithographic books.
