Some account of Gothic architecture in Spain

Street, George Edmund, 1824-1881 · 1869 · London, J. Murray · 27 pictures

An 1869 London study by the architect George Edmund Street, written for fellow architects and students, surveying Gothic church architecture in Spain. The four pictures are engraved views of a cathedral nave and aisles, a Moorish-style arcade with horseshoe arches, a ground plan with numbered bays, and a vaulted chapter house with clustered columns. A designer could take from them the rhythm of repeated arches and columns, and the plan's grid of piers and chapels.
