This New Design of my Invention for a Church in the Vitruvian Stile is most humbly Inscrib’d to his Grace William, Archbishop of Canterbury &c
Imprint: London, 1717
Copper engraving, 38 x 25 cms, engraved by H. Hulsbergh after Campbell, black and white as issued, blank verso. From the second volume of Vitruvius Britannicus. According to Adams this, and a design in the first volume, may have been Campbell’s submissions to the Commissioners for the Fifty New Churches (established by Parliament in 1711 to meet the spiritual needs of the rapidly growing city).
