La filiation généalogique de toutes les écoles gothiques

Colfs, Jean François, 1817-1893 · 1882 · Paris [etc.] J. Baudry · 36 pictures

A Gothic architecture treatise by Jean François Colfs, published in Paris in 1882, tracing the genealogy of Gothic building schools through engraved architectural details. The four plates show clustered piers, a finial, a Corinthian-style column, and a moulded rib with carved foliage, which a designer could use as references for classical and medieval ornament, column shafts, and stone profiles.
