No 73 74. Ducal palace. Front Windows & Balcony 98
[diagram]
Bases. cridges from the spiral inwards - fig 3. but they are hardly
hollowed - no - I am wrong, they are done as in fig 4 a
mere chamfer on the edge of the spiral: Then slightly
touched into hollowness, and made expressive of leafy flow
- finally the leaf points are traced - and the central rib
cut - by means of lateral incisions: vid section coloured
red, fig 2 No 73, and then a mere drill hold well turned
in the flat vertical side turns it into the shortest leaf lobe
and we have a full five lobed leaf, of the plan, was
it unfolded - of 1 or 2 opposite - but bent round into
section 3. Nothing could possibly be more simple or
exquisite.
Fig 3 shows the upper view: the larger rib on the side
of the roll - above the point is curious; as if there
were some idea of considering the filleted shield as the
root of the leaf as in the capitals, the filleted leaf
of the Lombard: Note this especially. Fig 4 another
try at it, side ways, but the spiral too small.
The stem on fig 3 was the edged shadow thrown back
from the roll ridges.
Fig 5 Flanked dentil and jamb base 6in perspective.
No 74. Tracery real size of the balcony in front of centre of
Balcony the front to sea of Doge’s Palace. The only instance
