Architectural notes on German churches, with notes written during an architectural tour in Picardy and Normandy

Whewell, William, 1794-1866, Lassaulx, F. de · 1842 · Cambridge, J. and J. J. Deighton; [etc., etc.] · 6 pictures

Architectural notes by William Whewell and F. de Lassaulx, published in Cambridge in 1842, recording Gothic church architecture in German churches and in Picardy and Normandy on a tour made for study. The pictures are precise line drawings of window tracery, rib vaulting and arch profiles, with plans and elevations set out for measurement, so a designer can take from them clean Gothic pointed-arch and tracery patterns and structural outlines.
