The magazine of architecture, perspective & sculpture : in five parts ... with copper plates by Benjamin Cole
A 1730 architectural pattern book in five parts with copper-plate engravings by Benjamin Cole, printed by A. Campbell and drawn for builders, joiners and craftsmen. The plates show measured elevations and profiles of classical orders, capitals, cornices, pedestals and wall panelling, with lettered reference keys and construction lines. A designer can take crisp ornamental proportions, moulding profiles and the precise geometric method of drawing classical detail.
