Parallèle de l'architecture antique avec la moderne : suivant les dix principaux auteurs qui ont écrit sur les cinq ordres
A 1766 French architectural treatise, the Parallèle de l'architecture antique avec la moderne, compiled under Roland Fréart and later editors including Charles Errard, Charles Antoine Jombert and Claude Perrault, comparing the classical orders. Its engraved plates set the Palladio and Vignola versions of each column side by side, with measured scale lines and labelled letters and numbers. A designer could draw on the precise, diagrammatic line work and the stacked comparison layouts for clear technical sheets or heritage-style infographics.
