Arthur Stratton · Series XII. Porticoes as Frontispieces and Approaches
Plate LXXXIX. Porticoes as Passage Ways and Approaches
Plate LXXXIX. — When a portico is used as an entrance to a courtyard or forecourt it serves both as a frontispiece and as a monumental gateway. The examples in this Plate are characteristic adaptions of this essentially classic feature.
Public-domain text (1925), transcribed from the archive.org OCR of the first edition and cleaned for reading: line-end hyphens rejoined, running heads, page numbers and the captions of the text figures removed, and obvious misreadings corrected. Stratton’s hundred plates are not reproduced, nor their engraved captions or the index to the illustrations; each Series is divided at his commentary on each plate, and the chapter titles follow the plate headings. The live figures are this book’s own.
