Quarterly papers on architecture
A quarterly architectural periodical issued in London in 1844 by John Weale, a publisher and writer on building, for an audience of architects, builders and craftsmen. Its plates pair measured elevations and sketched views of medieval churches with examples of stained glass. The pictures show the drawing conventions of the period: pale grey lithographic shading for stonework and the crisp line of architectural working drawings, which a designer could borrow for Gothic-revival ornament, window tracery and tonal stone texture.
