Lib. VI.
This is a plate series from a classical architecture treatise, with the title given only as Lib. VI, so the book is likely a survey of temple and building types from Greek antiquity. The three engraved plates show a rectangular temple ground plan with a colonnade and cella, a circular peripteral temple plan, and a Doric temple elevation with a sculpted pediment and frieze, drawn in clean outline with fine hatching. A designer could take from them the crisp line work, the lettered plan captions, and the strict architectural geometry of columns and pediment.
