New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1989. Hardbound. VG/VG. White cloth with color plated tipped-on, Bluish color-illustrated dustjacket. 630 pp., 178 full-color plates, 757 bw plates. A comprehensive guide for art history students and Gothic period enthusiasts alike! Not just architecture, but sculpture, paintings, manuscripts, tapestries and more. A whopper of a resource. The author leads us beyond architecture through the whole range of the fine and decorative arts of an entire era, from sculpture and painting to illuminated manuscripts, sumptuous tapestries, stained-glass windows, and exquisite masterpieces of metalwork, the last specimens of which mark the twilight of the Middle Ages.
