An 1881 German architectural dictionary by Oskar Mothes, published by O. Spamer in Leipzig and Berlin, written as a practical reference for builders, engineers and craftsmen across building, bridge, mill, mining and shipbuilding trades. The four pictures are black-and-white engravings of medieval church architecture: a Gothic nave elevation with rose window, a Chartres corner with arcaded gallery, a Speyer-style apse with arcaded window, and flying buttresses at St. Denis. Their precise line drawings of tracery, buttresses, pier profiles and moulding details offer a designer clear reference for Gothic and Romanesque ornament and structure.
