Cathedrals and cloisters of the Isle de France
A traveler's architectural survey of Gothic cathedrals, abbeys, and cloisters in the Île-de-France, written by Elise Whitlock Rose and published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in New York and London in 1910 for English-reading tourists and church-architecture enthusiasts. The 141 halftone photographs show interiors from the floor: clustered piers, foliate capitals, pointed arches receding in sequence, triforium galleries, and window tracery, with deep shadow and grainy grey tone useful for architectural detail, arch silhouettes, and textured monochrome backgrounds.
