CDROM accompanying the printed monograph

This CDROM is intended to extend the range of the printed monograph by providing both extra images, and useful web links. To examine the images, you will need a web browser on your machine. To explore the web links, your computer must be connected to the web.

The printed monograph is also provided here in electronic .pdf form, for which you will need a PDF reader: this can be downloaded to your local machine from the relevant web link below.

Although the images provided are restricted to monuments mentioned in the monograph itself, a large number of related or parallel monuments given as web links (especially to my server, http://rubens.anu.edu.au: cf. the section Image Resources on Artserve) will allow the user to extend, question and further illustrate many of the points made in the monograph.
