Quarterly Papers on Architecture. 4 Bde. Mit zahlreichen, teils kolorierten oder chromolithographierten Tafeln. London, Weale, 1844. 4°. HLdrbde. d. Zt. (etwas beschabt).

Architektur – Die Anthologie versammelt detaillierte, separat paginierte Fallstudien zu antiken und mittelalterlichen Baustilen in Europa. Ein zentraler Aspekt des Werks ist die Verknüpfung von reiner Architektur mit den dekorativen Künsten. Großen Raum nehmen präzise Untersuchungen und prachtvolle Illustrationen zu historischen Glasmalereien (Stained Glass), liturgischen Fliesenmustern, Wandmalereien und Einrichtungsgegenständen alter Kathedralen und Kirchen ein. Damit lenkte das Werk den Blick darauf, dass historische Architektur als Gesamtkunstwerk inklusive ihrer ursprünglichen Farbigkeit verstanden werden muss. Weale dokumentierte darin aber auch das Leben zeitgenössischer Kollegen, wie etwa die Biografie des irischen Architekten William Vitruvius Morrison.

Architecture – The anthology brings together detailed, separately paginated case studies on ancient and medieval architectural styles in Europe. A central aspect of the work is the connection between architecture itself and the decorative arts. A significant portion of the book is devoted to precise analyses and magnificent illustrations of historical stained glass, liturgical tile patterns, murals, and furnishings from ancient cathedrals and churches. In doing so, the work highlights the fact that historical architecture must be understood as a total work of art, including its original color palette. Weale also documented the lives of contemporary colleagues in the book, such as the biography of the Irish architect William Vitruvius Morrison. - Leather-and-cloth bindings with gold-edged heads (slightly scuffed).
