This charming book offers a delightful and captivating tour of the Library's art, architecture, and sculpture, created at the end of the nineteenth century by some fifty artists and artisans. From A for arch to Z for zigzag, illustrations from colorful alphabets found among the Library's rare books and manuscripts are paired with images of egg-and-dart moldings, helixes, jambs, quoins, spandrels, tripods, vaults, and more.
