How to Study Architecture

This book is written by Charles Henry Caffin, an Oxford-educated American writer and art critic who was greatly influential in the modern art scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It explores architectural styles across the ages, spanning from the Egyptian-inspired columns to Renaissance-style domes. As Caffin himself puts it: "Even out of the fragments of architecture it is possible for the imagination to visualize epochs of civilization long since buried in the past."
