Romanesque sculpture of the pilgrimage roads

Porter, Arthur Kingsley, 1883-1933 · 1923 · Boston : Marshall Jones Co. ; · 36 pictures

Romanesque sculpture of the pilgrimage roads is a 1923 photographic study by art historian Arthur Kingsley Porter, published in Boston by Marshall Jones Co. for scholars of medieval art and architecture. Its plates are sepia photographs of carved church portals, capitals and column figures along the pilgrimage routes, many shot at oblique angles. A designer might borrow the dense interlaced borders, stiff draped saints and crowded narrative reliefs as period ornament, though several plates are sideways.
