A glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture
A glossary of architectural terms compiled by John Henry Parker and published in Oxford in 1845, aimed at students of Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic buildings. The pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of stone details: a traceried window head with cusped quatrefoils, a foliated capital on clustered shafts, a pointed-arch timber door with a ring handle, and a tapering spire pinnacle, useful to a designer wanting Gothic ornament reference.
