ARCHITECTURAL

SHADES & SHADOWS

By HENRY McGOODWIN

The purpose and usefulness of this book is twofold: it is intended, first,
as a practical reference hand-book for the architect's office--a
"dictionary," as it were, of all the shades and shadows of those
architectural forms and details which are used in rendering drawings; and
second, as a clear and accurate course of study in the methods of
determining shadows, for use in schools, offices, and ateliers.

As a text-book for draughtsmen it is the clearest and most thorough work
that has ever been written on the subject. The study is approached from the
standpoint and in the language of the architect rather than of the
geometrician; and great pains have been taken to demonstrate every problem
in the simplest term
