La filiation généalogique de toutes les écoles gothiques

Colfs, Jean François, 1817-1893 · 1882 · Paris [etc.] J. Baudry · 35 pictures

A French architectural study by Jean François Colfs, published in Paris in 1882 by J. Baudry, tracing the genealogy of Gothic building styles for architects and students of medieval design. The engravings show Gothic cathedral details: a corner oriel with traceried canopies, buttresses and pinnacles, a carved portal arch with figures, and a gabled facade with tracery and crockets. A designer could draw on their dense, precise linework for ornamental stone patterns and Gothic motifs.
