French sculpture of the thirteenth century: seventy-eight examples of masterpieces of medieval art illustrating the works at Reims and showing their place in the history of sculpture

Gardner, Arthur, b. 1878 · 1915 · London : P. L. Warner · 71 pictures

Arthur Gardner's 1915 photographic survey, published in London by Philip Lee Warner, records seventy-eight examples of thirteenth-century French cathedral sculpture, chiefly at Reims, for students and historians of medieval art. Sepia halftones show jamb figures, voussoir angels, and carved capitals in raking daylight, giving designers deep-shadowed drapery folds, foliate ornament panels, and rows of standing saints in silhouette.
