A dictionary of architecture and building; biographical, historical and descriptive
Russell Sturgis's three-volume Dictionary of Architecture and Building, published by Macmillan in New York from 1901, compiled biographical, historical and descriptive entries for architects, students and builders. The plates are pen-and-ink elevations and details of masonry, arches, tracery, capitals and carved tympana, drawn with hatched shading and left unframed on white, useful as line ornament, spot illustration or reference for stonework pattern.
