A glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture
An illustrated architectural dictionary compiled by Oxford publisher John Henry Parker, issued in 1845 for architects, antiquaries, and students of medieval and classical building. The 605 wood engravings isolate single members drum piers, moulded capitals, foliate abaci, round-arched windows against blank grounds, drawn in fine hatching that models curved surfaces and stonework; useful as clean architectural spot art, ornament references, and hatching technique.
