An analysis of Gothic architecture by Raphael Brandon, first published in the 1800s and reissued in Edinburgh by J. Grant in 1903, is a plate book of architectural measured drawings for students and church builders studying ecclesiastical detail. The pictures are precise line engravings of pointed windows, tracery, doorways, mouldings, and corbels, with dimensioned sections and plans a designer could adapt for pattern, lettering-free ornament, or arched frame motifs.
