Beyond architecture

Porter, Arthur Kingsley, 1883-1933 · 1918 · Boston, Marshall Jones Company · 7 pictures

Essays on medieval building and sculpture by Arthur Kingsley Porter, the Harvard medievalist, published in Boston in 1918 for general readers and students of architecture. Halftone plates reproduce Romanesque relief carving, sculpted cathedral portals with banded archivolts and jamb figures, and flying buttresses seen from the roofs, in soft grey tones with heavy shadow; useful for carved figure groups, arch profiles and structural silhouettes.
