Lectures on architecture and painting
Lectures on Architecture and Painting is a late Victorian-era printed book of lectures by John Ruskin, published in London and New York in 1907, drawn from his teaching on building and art. Its pictures are plate illustrations of Gothic details: arches, a pointed window, and carved capitals, drawn in fine black line. A designer might take from them the rhythm of pointed arches, the foliage carving, and the simple line technique used to show stone texture.
