Arthur Lyman Tuckerman (1861–1892) was an American architect and author who died young, at thirty-one. He is known chiefly for three works: A Short History of Architecture (1887), a survey covering Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical architecture, which he illustrated himself; Selections of Works of Architecture and Sculpture Belonging Chiefly to the Period of the Renaissance in Italy (1891); and Design (1891). His output was small but focused entirely on architectural history and design pedagogy, consistent with a professional background as a practicing architect rather than a career man of letters. His early death cut short what appears to have been a promising career combining architectural practice with historical writing and illustration.
