Proportion and harmony of line and color in painting, sculpture, and architecture: an essay in comparative sthetics

Raymond, George Lansing, 1839-1929 · 1899 · New York [etc.] : G. P. Putnam's sons · 5 pictures

An 1899 aesthetics essay by George Lansing Raymond, published in New York by G. P. Putnam's Sons, comparing proportion and harmony of line and colour across painting, sculpture and architecture. The pictures are plain line engravings and halftones: a Gothic church in a roundel, a labelled Doric column with its entablature parts, a stained-glass figure beside printed text, and two portrait heads cut into arched frames. For a designer they offer clear diagrams of classical proportion and period engraving conventions for architectural subjects.
