A concise glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture
A glossary of architectural terms covering Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic building, compiled by John Henry Parker and published in Oxford and London in 1875 for students and architects. The pictures are plain line engravings of Gothic window tracery, a row of pointed niches on columns, and a carved pinnacle, showing the shapes a designer could borrow for arched openings, trefoil and quatrefoil motifs, and pointed Gothic ornament.
