ARCHITECTURAL
SHADES & SHADOWS
By HENRY McGOODWIN
The purpose and usefulness of this book is twofold: it is intended, first, as a practical reference hand-book for the architect's office—a "dictionary," as it were, of all the shades and shadows of those architectural forms and details which are used in rendering drawings; and second, as a clear and accurate course of study in the methods of determining shadows, for use in schools, offices, and ateliers.
As a text-book for draughtsmen it is the clearest and most thorough work that has ever been written on the subject. The study is approached from the standpoint and in the language of the architect rather than of the geometrician; and great pains have been taken to demonstrate every problem in the simplest terms and by the simplest methods.
