Architectura
Architectura is an architectural treatise by Vitruvius Pollio, edited by Simone Stratico and Giovanni Poleni, printed at Udine in 1825 by the Mattiuzzi brothers for students and readers of architecture. Its plates show engineering machines drawn in fine line engraving, with lettered reference keys and figure numbers on each sheet. A designer might take from them the clean diagrammatic style of early nineteenth-century mechanical drawing, with its dense hatching, exploded views and labelled parts.
