content: Vertical sheet depicing four sketches of steeples or roofs of buildings. At top right is a square timbered building with irregular roof dormers that do not match. The dormer over an oval window opening is drawn again in greater detail below, showing the dormer's prominent spike finial. To the left of this is the drawing of a Gothic tower ending in a tall steeple ornamented with crockets and twin crosses at its apex. Below this is a drawing of a steeply pitched roof, its gable covered by wooden timbers creating a pointed arch, with a balcony along the lowest row of windows. At bottom left is a tower with three levels ov eaves, and the roof with a large, overhanging dormer on the right side.
