Excerpt from An Essay on the Origin and Development of Window Tracery in England: With Nearly Four Hundred Illustrations
The present volume consists of an improved and extended form of several papers on the subject of Tracery read before the Oxford Architectural Society at intervals during the years 1846 and 1848. Each of the three first Chapters represents a paper. Of these the second and third are essentially the same as when communicated to the Society, allowing for a searching revision, and for the insertion of passages omitted in reading for want of time. But the first Chapter has been completely re-written, and the fourth is an entirely new addition.
I have thought it advisable to give these particulars, as the dates will sufficiently obviate any suspicion of rivalry with the excellent work by Mr. Sharpe on a nearly similar subject. The latter had not assumed its present form till the whole of my three first parts were all but ready for the press, and the earlier numbers certainly gave no promise that a complete work on Tracery was designed by the accomplished author. Yet had it been otherwise, I cannot but think that the field of architectural literature might easily contain both. Indeed, if I may venture so to speak, it seems to me that both are necessary to a complete working out of our very extensive subject.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Gothic window tracery, exploring its evolution from simple lancet windows to the complex and beautiful forms that adorn medieval cathedrals.

The book meticulously classifies different types of tracery, analyzing the principles of design that guided their creation. It also discusses the intricate interplay of geometric shapes, circles, and arcs, exploring how these elements contribute to the overall aesthetic impact of the windows. The author delves into the nuances of foliation, the patterns of cusps and foils that embellish the tracery, and how these were used to create an endless variety of designs. The book offers a compelling historical and aesthetic analysis of this important architectural feature. It provides a deep understanding of the craftsmanship and creativity of medieval architects, illuminating the rich tapestry of ideas that shaped the evolution of Gothic window tracery.
