Il duomo di Milano e i disegni per la sua facciata
This 1889 Milan publication by Camillo Boito and Filippo Salveraglio, issued by L. March, documents competition designs for the facade of the Milan Cathedral, the Duomo, for a learned audience of architects and historians. The plates show front elevations drawn in either photographic or engraved reproduction, each captioned with the designer's name and competition rank. For a designer, the pictures offer a catalogue of Gothic facade composition: tall pinnacled spires, vertical buttresses, rose windows and triple portals arranged in varied schemes.
