L' architecture de Vitruve
A French edition of Vitruvius's treatise on architecture, edited by Ch. L. Maufras and published by Panckoucke in 1847, aimed at students and readers of classical architectural theory. The plates are measured line drawings of building plans, doorway elevations and floor layouts with lettered keys, with hatched walls, dashed diagonals and fine ruled grids that a designer could borrow for diagrammatic or technical graphics.
