L'architecture du Vme au XVIIme siècle et les arts qui en dépendent : la sculpture, la peinture murale, la peinture sur verre, la mosaïque, la ferronnerie, etc.
Gailhabaud's Paris survey of architecture and its decorative arts, published by Gide in 1858, covers Gothic and Renaissance building from the fifth to the seventeenth century for architects and craftsmen. Its plates show engraved Gothic arcade and tracery details, a wrought-iron stand, a carved Renaissance cabinet and ornamental iron stands, with fine line hatching a designer could borrow for ornament.
