Constructions en briques; la brique ordinaire au point de vue décoratif

Lacroux, J, Détain, C, Cooper Union Library, former owner. DSI · 1878 · Paris, Ducher · 8 pictures

A French architectural pattern book of 1878 by J. Lacroux and C. Détain, published in Paris by Ducher, showing how ordinary brick can be used decoratively in building design. The plates present brick façades, window surrounds, gatehouses and tall columns with red and cream polychrome patterning, and a designer could draw on their repeating bands, arched openings and brick-coloured palette for architectural ornament.
