L'architecture du Vme au XVIIme siècle et les arts qui en dépendent : la sculpture, la peinture murale, la peinture sur verre, la mosaïque, la ferronnerie, etc.
Gailhabaud's 1858 Paris survey of architecture from the 5th to 17th centuries, with sculpture, wall painting, stained glass, mosaic and ironwork, is a plate book of measured architectural drawings made for students and architects. The plates show arcades, column bases and capitals, vaults, mouldings and tracery drawn in fine line, so a designer could borrow arch rhythms, foliage carving and Gothic tracery patterns for ornament.
