John Ruskin's 1890 Boston edition gathers his essays on architecture, painting and social thought, published by Aldine for general readers and students of design. Its illustrations are plain black line engravings of Gothic and medieval architectural details, such as spires, traceried windows, arched doorways and carved foliage capitals, which a designer could use as reference for ornament, arch profiles and pointed-arch proportions.
