Goodyear Archival Collection Series 6: Visual materials 1893-1914, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81907141

This series contains materials which provide the visual key to Goodyear's work and architectural theories: images of medieval cathedrals, churches, and mosques; of art works in museums abroad; views of the 1900 Paris Exposition; and of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The photographs, many taken by Goodyear and photographers Joseph Hawkes and John McKecknie, demonstrate high technical quality. The architectural photographs often show rich detail, remarkable clarity, and a unique perspective, while illustrating the refinements sought out by Goodyear. These images are valuable not only as evidence of architectural refinements but also because they provide a visual record of medieval churches and cathedrals before the world wars.
