Dalmatia, the Quarnero and Istria, with Cettigne in Montenegro and the island of Grado

Jackson, Thomas Graham, Sir, 1835-1924 · 1887 · Oxford, Clarendon Press · 28 pictures

Dalmatia, the Quarnero and Istria is an 1887 architectural survey published by Oxford's Clarendon Press, written and illustrated by the architect Thomas Graham Jackson for scholars and travellers of the Adriatic coast. Its plates record medieval and Renaissance buildings in towns such as Ragusa and Lesina through measured pen-and-ink views. A designer could take from them the Romanesque arcades, Gothic window tracery and carved lunette doorways, drawn in fine hatching with a restrained sepia palette.
