Arthur Stratton · Series XV. Screens and Colonnades
Plate XCVII. Screens of Columns
Plate XCVII. — No. I shows a screen of columns forming an open colonnade, unified at the centre by means of an arched opening of attic form. The screen shown in No. II is formed of single columns with an arched opening at the centre, and is terminated at the extremities by square masses having sympathetic cornices. No. III shows a single screen with two arched openings flanked by coupled columns, with a small doorway for pedestrians in each of the short wings.
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.
