A glossary of terms used in Grecian, Roman, Italian, and Gothic architecture
An illustrated architectural glossary compiled by Oxford publisher John Henry Parker in 1845, defining Greek, Roman, Italian and Gothic building terms for architects, antiquaries and church restorers. The wood engravings isolate single features—clustered piers, gabled doorways, moulded arch orders, plate-tracery windows—drawn in fine line with hatched shading and no background, giving designers a stock of clean, cut-out architectural motifs.
