Lexique des termes d'art
Jules Adeline's 1880 Paris dictionary of art terms, published by Quantin for students and practitioners of architecture and the decorative arts. The pictures are small black-and-white line engravings of architectural parts: a row of finials or pinnacles on square bases, a crenellated wall section with a tower, a round arch with its voussoirs and imposts, and coffered ceiling panels. A designer could take clean, schematic line-drawing conventions for hatching and shading masonry.
