A concise glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture

Parker, John Henry, 1806-1884 · 1900 · London ; Oxford : J. Parker · 38 pictures

A concise architectural glossary by John Henry Parker, published in London and Oxford in 1900 by J. Parker, for students of Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic building. Its pictures are line engravings of stone details such as a Norman arch with a carved doorway, a moulded arch rib, a foliate corbel and a pinnacled pier, each drawn cleanly enough to serve as a reference for medieval ornament and structural profiles.
