Précis d'archéologie du moyen âge

Brutails, J.-A. (Jean-Auguste), 1859-1926 · 1923 · Toulouse : E. Privat ; Paris : A Picard · 28 pictures

A 1923 French textbook on medieval archaeology by J.-A. Brutails, published in Toulouse and Paris for students of architecture and archaeology. Its pictures are precise line drawings of Gothic structures: a nave elevation, a pointed window with tracery, a sexpartite vault in axonometric view with its plan, and a sectioned buttressed wall. A designer could draw on them for clean architectural linework and cross-hatched stone textures.
