The volute in architecture and architectural decoration with particular reference to its introduction into the Ionic order
A 1918 master's thesis by Rexford Newcomb at the University of Illinois, tracing the spiral volute through ancient and later architecture for students of architectural history and ornament. Plates are photographed measured drawings, borrowed engravings of Ionic and Corinthian capitals, geometric spiral constructions, and pasted-up sheets of numbered clippings — useful for scroll geometry, capital profiles, and archival plate layouts.
