A concise glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture
A concise glossary of architectural terms by John Henry Parker, published in London and Oxford in 1892, aimed at students of Grecian, Roman, Italian and Gothic building. The pictures are line engravings of medieval Gothic features: a tall traceried window with its label mouldings, a window with sill and stone seats, a porch with a zigzag-moulded arch, and a tympanum carved with a seated figure. A designer could take from them the pointed arch, tracery, and chevron ornament as period motifs.
