About this book
The Alhambra presents plates reproduced from photographs and drawings secured or specially made to illustrate the work, with the author expressing an ambition for its pictorial presentation. The illustration list names panels and inscriptions, various mosaics, panel ornament, and frets formed by the interlacing of lines. The listed architectural material includes a plan of ceiling ornament and a section of the columns and arches of the palace.
Captions identify capitals of columns in the Court of the Lions and the Court of Fishpond, together with ornament on the walls at the windows of Lindaraja’s Balcony. The illustration list includes a view of Granada showing the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada, a general view of the Alhambra and part of its exterior.
