Practical Notes for Architectural Draughtsmen.
By A. W. S. Cross, m.a., f.r.i.b.a., and
Alan E. Munby, m.a., f.r.i.b.a.
The fact that this Portfolio has now entered upon its second edition, and that the demand for it is even greater at the present time than when it was first published, is clear proof of its value to those who are engaged in the practical application of exact draughtsmanship to architectural design. It is essential that the draughtsman should be able to set out “The Orders” in a rapid and precise manner, and such facility can only be acquired by familiarity with the best methods of setting up drawings. It is the special object of this volume to show these methods.
The plates are not confined to “The Orders” proper, but embrace their application to windows, doorways, arcading, niches, &c., and include also a number of large illustrations of domes, staircases, and other constructional features, as well as plates illustrating the best methods of setting up perspectives and the projection of shadows.
In the new edition several of the drawings have been enlarged in order to facilitate rapid reference, and the collection has been improved in other respects.
One Volume. 19 in. by 14 in. 27 Plates.
