Le facciate del Duomo di Firenze
A Florentine publication of 1887, printed by Ciardelli in Firenze, gathering proposed and historical facade designs for the Duomo of Florence, aimed at architects and students of church architecture. The four plates show elevations drawn in clean line work: a Gothic-style facade with banded upper storey and pointed portals, a Baroque facade of columns and pediments, a plain arcaded church front, and a striped Gothic-revival design with carved figures and tracery, offering designers study of rhythmic banding, arched openings and sculpted doorway ornament.
