An introduction to the study of Gothic architecture
A study guide to Gothic architecture by John Henry Parker, published in Oxford and London in 1891 and aimed at students of the subject. Its engravings show pointed-arch windows with tracery, a doorway beneath a traceried window, and a square pier with attached shafts and arcading. A designer could take from them the vocabulary of Gothic window forms, with their lancets, cusps, and foiled tracery, for pointed arches and ornamental grids.
