While Rummaging through an old bookstore

 While rummaging through an old bookstore in New Orleans Louisiana I stumbled upon this three volume set of books. They are very old but there are no title pages and no identifying information, nor a title on the spines or inside.

But, they are amazing books nonetheless and composed of all kinds of medieval architectural elements and all hand drawn in pencil. Just beautiful. 

Finally made some time to go through them. How often do you find an old book with hand drawings of authentic cariartides, cartouches, stairs, balustrades,  and more. Just amazing.



These are going to come in handy when I build my castle.
