The spring gardens sketch book
A sketch book of 1866 held by Heidelberg University Library, filled with architectural studies of Gothic structures, plans and details. The pictures are measured line drawings in pencil or ink on cream paper, showing vaulted ribs, tracery, window bays, plans and profiles of church interiors. A designer might borrow their precise linear grids, arch and tracery geometry, and ornamental mouldings for line-based patterns or architectural graphics.
