Descrizione d'un cammino, e stuffa di nuova invenzione
An Italian treatise by Guido Guschi, published in 1800, describing a newly invented fireplace and stove, illustrated with engraved plates from the Smithsonian Libraries collection. The plates show fireplace elevations with ornate carved mantels, tiled firebox interiors, a geometric inlaid hearth floor, and plan and section drawings with measured scale bars. A designer could draw on the carved rococo mantel scrolls, the diamond-pattern floor, and the tiled firebox surrounds.
