The grecian orders of architecture : delineated and explained from the antiquities of Athens : also the parallels of the orders of Palladio, Scamozzi and Vignola to which are added remarks concerning publick and private edifices with designs
Riou's 1768 treatise on the Grecian orders of architecture, drawn from the antiquities of Athens and set beside the orders of Palladio, Scamozzi and Vignola, was written for architects and students of classical design. Its plates show measured elevations, capitals, bases and entablatures drawn in fine line, with dimensioned cross-sections and plan details that a designer could use as a reference for proportion and ornament.
