Elemens d'architecture de fortifications et de navigation : avec un vocabulaire des termes de fortifications & des principaux termes de la navigation, en françois & en anglois
This French-English treatise on architecture, fortifications and navigation was compiled by Denis Pierre Jean Papillon de la Ferté and published in 1787 by the widow Ballard and sons, with a bilingual glossary of fortification and naval terms. Its engraved plates show classical column orders with capitals, bases and shafts, plus elevations and floor plans of temples and columns. A designer could draw on the precise, diagrammatic line work for classical ornament, column proportions and architectural schematics.
