Histoire de l'architecture en Belgique

Schayes, A. G. B. (Antoine-Guillaume-Bernard), 1808-1859 · 1850 · Brussels : A. Jamar · 21 pictures

A French-language architectural history of Belgium by A. G. B. Schayes, published in Brussels by A. Jamar in 1850 and aimed at scholars and readers of architecture. The four pictures are plain line engravings of buildings: a stone arcaded wall elevation, a long arcaded facade with a tower, a cross-section of a domed church with its interior arches, and a Roman gateway with two round towers and arched passages. A designer could take from them the clear hatching and fine-line method of showing masonry, arcade rhythm, and cutaway sections.
