with 70 large, scaled drawings of terra cotta in building applications (from windows and columns to gargoyles and domed arches). One of only a handful of pre-WWI titles on the subject, and perhaps the best, certainly the most detailed architecturally. Includes several marvelous plates on windows, including rose windows, Gothic windows, ticket windows, dormers, decorative mullions and more. An important work on the subject. This copy in quite good shape, with sound hinges and tight binding.
