Quarterly papers on architecture
Quarterly Papers on Architecture is a mid-nineteenth-century London periodical compiled by John Weale, published in 1844 for architects, builders and students of medieval design. Its plates record stained glass and decorative painting, many drawn as detailed colour studies of windows and ornament. The pictures show how medieval glass arranged figures in tall arched panels, roundels and border strips, offering a designer ready models for symmetrical framing, saint portraits and interlaced patterned ground.
