A set of lectures on art published in London by Macmillan in 1882, gathered by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and written by Reginald Stuart Poole, W. B. Richmond, Edward John Poynter and J. T. Micklethwaite. The three pictures are black-and-white ground plans of church-like buildings, with thick solid walls and pale interior spaces, showing nave, aisle and transept layouts. A designer could take from them a bold figure-ground contrast and a clear, graphic way of showing architectural plans.
