EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving from 1816 showcases the intricate and varied styles of masonry used in wall construction during the 19th century. From reticulated to Roman emplection with a core of rubble, each type of masonry is expertly depicted in fine detail by Wilson Lowry.
The image captures the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating walls using different techniques such as isodomum and pseudisodomum with unequal courses. The Greek emplection style is also highlighted, showcasing the diversity and complexity of architectural practices during this time period.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost imagine the skilled macons working diligently on a construction site to create these beautiful walls. The absence of people in the image allows you to focus solely on the intricate details and patterns of each type of masonry.
This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage behind architectural design, highlighting the importance of traditional building methods that have stood the test of time. It is a true testament to human ingenuity and creativity in constructing lasting structures that continue to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
