Review:

This admirable publication consists of a reprint of Schinkel's German text and the 174 pages of clear plates based on the master's beautiful drawings .... Schinkel's allusive talent, his use of metaphor, and his architectonic logic make him a figure of great interest today. James Stevens Curl, RSA Journal
