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 century and its decorative arts, drawn for architects, craftsmen and students of ornament. The plates are measured architectural drawings and colour studies of Gothic and Romanesque detail. A designer might take geometric tracery, wrought ironwork patterns and painted architectural ornament from them.
