Architecture under nationalism
Architecture under nationalism, published in Boston in 1891 by J. Pickering Putnam, is a critical study of how national styles shaped building design, written for architects and general readers. The four pictures are wood-engraved architectural views: a Gothic church interior with ribbed vaulting, a half-timbered gabled house with corner turrets, a tall spire with pierced stonework, and a carved wooden balcony on a pavilion roof. A designer could draw on their rhythmic ribbing, steep roof silhouettes, and ornamental carved detail for period or regional motifs.
