Ward, William Henry, 1865-1924 · 1911 · London : B.T. Batsford ; New York : Scribner · 35 pictures

A 1911 London and New York survey by the English architectural writer William Henry Ward, tracing French classical building, decoration and garden design from 1495 to 1830 for students and professionals. The pictures are measured elevations, plans and sections of French palaces and churches, with a sectioned domed church and a stable detail, all in fine black line that shows structure, proportion and ornament clearly for a designer studying classical massing.
