Summary "The Brochure Series of Architectural Illustration, Vol. 01, No. 09 1895" by Various is a specialized publication focusing on architectural illustration, produced during the late 19th century. This issue, in particular, highlights the magnificent pulpits and ambos from Southern Italy, particularly their intricate mosaic decorations. The book serves as a historical account of architectural details and decorative arts from this period, offering insights into the craftsmanship of the time. The content of this issue showcases various notable pulpits and their stunning mosaic artistry, elaborating on the differences between the works of the Cosmati family in Rome and the styles found in Sicily and Southern Italy. It details the construction techniques, materials used, and the aesthetic qualities of mosaic decorations in churches of that region, emphasizing the vibrant colors and intricate designs characteristic of these works. Specific examples include the pulpit in the Cathedral of Salerno and the ambo in the Capella Palatina of Palermo, both of which demonstrate the blend of artistic styles and historical significance in church architecture from the Norman period. Through rich descriptions and illustrations, this publication not only captures the beauty of the mosaics but also conveys a sense of the cultural and artistic heritage of Southern Italy.
