[EAN: 9781330340936], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from An Analysis of Gothick Architecture: Illustrated by a Series of Upwards of Seven Hundred Examples of Doorways, Windows, Etc; Etc; And Accompanied With Remarks on the Several Details of an Ecclesiastical Edifice The illustrative portion of the work will be found to have been divided into two sections: of these the first is devoted solely to a full exposition of the mason's art in all its various branches, while the second embraces a similar elucidation of detail in the important accessories of wood-work and metal-work. In the execution of the plates, no less than in their selection, the strictly practical character of the work has been uniformly kept in View; without aiming at pictorial beauty, the object has been to ensure the greatest possible fidelity and accuracy of delineation to accomplish this, the Authors have personally visited every Church, from which examples have been drawn, and have themselves taken the admeasurements, made the drawings, and engraved them on zinc. Two subjects only form exceptions, the one a ?oor-cross from St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, which they have drawn from a rubbing kindly sent them by J. K. Colling, Esq; and the other, the diapers upon the shield of Sir Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, a.d. 1221, in the Church of Hatfield Broadoaks, Essex, for a rubbing of which the Authors are indebted to the kindness of the Rev. Charles Boutell: to whom they also have to offer their sincere acknowledgments for much valuable assistance in the arrangement of their letterpress description. Had the plates been executed by more practised zincographers, they would doubtless have exhibited a higher degree of artistic treatment, and greater beauty of finish but this, it was feared, might have involved the risk of some slight inaccuracy, and thus have considerably diminished the utility of the examples.

Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.Excerpt from An Analysis of Gothick Architecture: Illustrated by a Series of Upwards of Seven Hundred Examples of Doorways, Windows, Etc; Etc; And Accompanied With Remarks on the Several Details of an Ecclesiastical EdificeOf the numerous works recently called into existence by the prevalent spirit of inquiry and research into the Ecclesiastical Architecture of the Middle Ages, none has supplied such an analysis of details as is absolutely essential, no less for the complete abstract elucidation of the principles of this great art, than for their correct practical application. The present work has been undertaken with a view to supply this deficiency, by presenting a series of good and pure specimens of the various details which occur in Church Architecture, as they are exemplified in existing Edifices. The examples thus selected commence with the closing style of the Romanesque, and range throughout the Gothick era, properly so called. The Authors, desirous to adhere in every respect to their plan of producing a practical rather than an historical work on English Church Architecture, have purposely avoided all notice and illustration of the architecture of the Anglo-Saxons. Many excellent treatises have been devoted to the investigation of the style of building at this remote period, and much of both curious and valuable information has been thus elicited. Saxon Architecture, however, though abounding in materials for interesting research to the antiquary and historian, is at best but rude and barbarous as a constructive system, and consequently by the architect of the present day it cannot be considered as a guide or authority. And indeed its successor, the Anglo-Norman, has but very few, if any claims to our regard and adoption. About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
