Illustrations of architecture and ornament. Drawn and etched on copper

Waring, J. B. (John Burley), 1823-1875 · 1865 · London, Day & son · 8 pictures

Illustrations of architecture and ornament, published in London in 1865 by Day & Son and drawn and etched on copper by J. B. Waring, a volume of architectural study plates for builders and designers. The plates show carved capitals, corbels, bracket supports, and panels of Gothic and Renaissance ornament, with a few stall and screen details drawn in fine line. A designer could take from them the structure of carved brackets and the repeating patterns of foliage, knotwork, and figure carving used to decorate structural members.
