EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Styles of Masonry" takes us on a journey through the rich history of architectural craftsmanship. Captured by an English School artist in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Harmsworth Encyclopedia around 1922. The photograph showcases various styles of masonry that have shaped our built environment over time. From ashlar to rubble, each style represents a different technique and aesthetic approach. The lithographic print beautifully highlights the intricate details such as rebated joints, moulded edges, squared coursed stones, and random rubble walls. As we delve into this visual encyclopedia of knowledge, we discover the importance of materials like cement mortar and ashlar bands in creating sturdy structures. Split flint rock-faced quoins add texture while drafted margins and dressed stones demonstrate meticulous craftsmanship. Notably, window openings with lintels are skillfully incorporated into these masonry designs. The vermiculated work adds an artistic touch to facades while punched faces create depth and character. This print serves as a reminder that behind every magnificent building lies centuries-old techniques passed down from generation to generation. It invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in constructing our cities' architectural marvels while also acknowledging the historical significance embedded within their walls.
