Arthur and Witney convey an experience of the barn as a whole and in detall, showing the marks of time and climate on the exteriors, visually evoking a perception of the interiors: the sense of space, the floods of light and shadow, the rich polish of time worn timbers and the dull glow of rusted metal. In addition to photographs taken especially for this book, there are contemporary photographs and engravings, detailed floor plans and architectural drawings, complementing and extending the authoritative text.
