Inside Out Library

A history of architecture in Italy from the time of Constantine to the dawn of the renaissance

Cummings, Charles Amos, 1833-1905 · 1901 · Boston, New York, Houghton Mifflin and company · 253 pictures

A two-volume survey of Italian architecture from Constantine to the early Renaissance, written by the Boston architect Charles Amos Cummings and published by Houghton Mifflin in 1901 for students, architects and general readers. The single plate here is a ground plan of a circular church with walls filled solid black against white floor and colonnade, the kind of high-contrast plan a designer can lift as a stencil, logo mark or pattern unit.
