Statistique monumentale du département de l'Aube

Fichot, Charles, 1817-1903 · 1884 · Paris, l'Auteur chez Lacroix · 38 pictures

A French monumental survey of the Aube department, compiled by the architect Charles Fichot and published in Paris in 1884, recording medieval churches and their fittings for an architectural and antiquarian readership. The pictures are crisp engravings of Gothic interiors, a carved tracery panel, a standing cross and an equestrian figure above a pointed doorway, showing how Gothic ornament was drawn: pierced foil patterns, cusped arches and stone detail a designer could adapt for ironwork, borders or lettering.
