Boily, Charles-Ange, 1738 or 1739-1813 · 1762 · [S.l. : s.n.] · 15 pictures

An architecture plate book of unknown publisher, dated 1762, by the engraver-draughtsman Charles-Ange Boily, likely made for students and builders learning classical design. Its engraved plates show column orders with labelled parts, cornice and moulding profiles, and building elevations drawn as flat, measured views, offering a designer clear geometric references for classical ornament and proportion.
