An introduction to the study of Gothic architecture
An introduction to the study of Gothic architecture, written in 1867 by the Oxford antiquary John Henry Parker and published in Oxford and London by J. Parker, aimed at students and readers of medieval church building. The pictures are finely cut line engravings of pointed arches, window tracery, and carved corbels, drawn as clean architectural elevations. A designer could take from them the rhythm of trefoil and cusped tracery, the stepped lancet arcade, and the pattern of stone detail for borders or ornamental panels.
