Vergleichende Darstellung der architectonischen Ordnungen der Griechen und Römer und der neueren Baumeister
A German architectural treatise published in 1830 by Ferdinand Riegel, compiled from the work of Charles Normand, Moritz von Jacobi and Johann Mauch, comparing the classical orders of Greek and Roman architecture with those of recent builders. Its plates are measured engraved drawings of column capitals, entablatures and mouldings, each labelled with dimensions in parts. A designer could draw on their crisp line work, precise proportional grids and stylised acanthus and scroll ornament.
