Les dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve : avec les notes de Perrault
Les dix livres d'architecture de Vitruve is an 1837 Paris edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, annotated by Claude Perrault and edited by Tardieu and Coussin for scholars of classical building. The four pictures are engraved ground plans of Roman and Greek buildings, showing colonnaded courts, rooms laid out in grids, and a semicircular theatre with its orchestra, scene and tiered seating drawn as a fan of radiating steps, which a designer could use for diagrammatic site layouts and classical plan graphics.
