An architectural tour in Normandy : with some remarks on Norman architecture

Knight, Henry Gally, 1786-1846, Burton, Charles, 19th cent, Day & Haghe · 1836 · London : J. Murray · 6 pictures

An Architectural Tour in Normandy, published in London by John Murray in 1836, is an antiquarian travel and architectural study by Henry Gally Knight, with plates drawn by Charles Burton and lithographed by Day & Haghe for readers interested in Norman church design. The plates are pen-and-ink style lithographs of nave arches, columns, and galleries seen in one-point perspective, showing how Romanesque round arches, cushion capitals, and receding bays structure interior space, useful for designers studying repeated arcades and vaulted rhythm.
