The Heraldic Origin Of Gothic Architecture: In Answer To All Foregoing Systems On The Subjects (1820) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120032874)

The book titled ""The Heraldic Origin of Gothic Architecture: In Answer to All Foregoing Systems on the Subjects"" was written by Rowley Lascelles and published in 1820. The book explores the origins of Gothic architecture and presents a new theory that links it to heraldry. Lascelles argues that the intricate designs and motifs found in Gothic architecture were derived from the symbols and emblems used in heraldry. He also suggests that the development of Gothic architecture was influenced by the Crusades and the influx of Eastern design elements. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to support Lascelles' arguments. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of architecture or heraldry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
