http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145997625

Drawings of architecture and landscapes and designs for the decorative arts. The sixty-eight architectural drawings were largely made during a 1878 trip throughout France and include Romanesque buildings in Soissons, Bayeaux, and elsewhere. Of the sixty-eight items, about half are of entire buildings or large sections of buildings and half of details such as cornices, sometimes with measurements and other annotations. A few drawings are of buildings in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and one is of St. Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey (with detailed notations of color). Other groups of drawings are of landscapes (fourteen items) and art (ten items, including paintings, sculpture, and stained glass - the glass at the Eglise Saint-Nicolas, Beaumont-le-Roger). Also, twenty-three designs for magazine covers (Globe, Cosmopolitan, and the National Democratic Review) for books (by Walton and by Goldsmith) and for a tombstone (Sealy). With etchings of a bookplate for Alice Brinsmade.
