No 73 74 DUCAL PALCADE FRONT WINDOWS & BALCONY
Bases. ridges 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
touches 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 vertical side turns it into the shortest leaf lobe
and we have a full five lobed leaf, of the place, 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 o
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 in perspectivel.
No 74. Tracery real size of the balcony in centre of the front to
