Medieval architecture, its origins and development, with lists of monuments and bibliographies
A two-volume architectural history by Arthur Kingsley Porter, published in New York by Baker and Taylor in 1909 for students and scholars tracing the origins and development of medieval building, with monument lists and bibliographies. The plates are halftone photographs of European churches — nave arcades and rib vaults, traceried window ranges, carved west fronts and apse exteriors — plus measured plans and sections useful for Gothic ornament silhouettes, arch profiles, and stone-texture backgrounds.
