Lib. IV.

5 pictures

This is a plate-based architectural treatise from the Werner Oechslin library collection, presenting classical column orders and temple plans as engraved line drawings with scale bars and plate numbers. The pictures show Corinthian-style columns in rows and a rectangular temple elevation and ground plan, with dense hatching and clean outlines. A designer could take from them the proportional rhythm of fluted columns, capitals and stepped bases, and the plan-to-elevation logic of a peripteral temple.
