Traité de la construction des théatres ...
Traité de la construction des théâtres is an 1886 French architectural treatise by Alphonse Gosset, published in Paris by Librairie Polytechnique Baudry for architects and engineers. Its plates are measured technical drawings of theatre sections, plans and elevations, with stage, auditorium and gallery layouts drawn in fine line on warm cream paper. A designer could take from them the clean hierarchy of architectural line work, labelled plan lettering, and the tonal restraint of sepia ink on tan ground.
