A cornice, a captivating architectural element that effortlessly blends history and artistry. Like Houdini's magic tricks, it adds an enchanting touch to any building, making it stand tall like a skyscraper in the cityscape. In the realm of architecture, cornices have been celebrated throughout centuries. From the majestic Arch of Titus in Rome to the grand Parthenon in Athens, these structures showcase the mastery of ancient civilizations. Engraved by Charles Lawrie, Architecture I: Orders of Architecture captures their timeless beauty. Even closer to home, at Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire, a library adorned with intricate cornices invites us into a world of knowledge and elegance. The Stone Hall at Houghton Hall mesmerizes with its ceiling details from The English Country House collection. Venturing further eastward brings us to Turkey's Temple of Apollo at Didyma where a Gorgon-shaped cornice commands attention, and is as if Goddess Rhea or Cybele herself rides on a lion next to Pergamon Altar - an awe-inspiring sight indeed. The Lindarajas Balcony transports us back to 1907 with its upper part intricately designed by an unknown creator. William Tarn and Co. 's Illustrated Catalogue offers glimpses into how different styles and materials can transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones. Traveling southwards leads us to Catalonia's Dali Museum where a glass dome crowns this artistic sanctuary. Dragons and mermen come alive through sculptures adorning another magnificent cornice - truly capturing our imagination. Intricate yet powerful, each detail on these cornices tells stories from different eras and cultures. They serve as reminders that even within architectural elements lies hidden tales waiting for discovery.
