The study-book of mediæval architecture and art; being a series of working drawings of the principal monuments of the middle ages. Whereof the plans, sections, and details are drawn to uniform scales
The Study-Book of Mediaeval Architecture and Art, a working-drawing manual compiled by the architect Thomas H. King and published in London by H. Sotheran and Co. in 1868 for architects and students. Its plates show measured plans, sections, elevations and details of Gothic monuments drawn to uniform scales, with capitals, tracery, organ cases and choir stalls set out in fine black line. A designer could take from them the clean, orderly grammar of Gothic ornament, such as stiff-leaf capitals, pointed arches and crocketed pinnacles, as a source for linework and decorative borders.
