Biographical notes:

Draughtsman and architect Augustus Charles Pugin elected to flee France during the revolution, settling in London where he secured a position in the architectural firm of John Nash. Pugin was an author as well as a designer, and his stylish books on Gothic ornamentation provided influential source material for the Gothic revival in England, led by Pugin's son, Augustus Welby Pugin.
