Chabat, Pierre, 1827-1892 · 1881 · Paris : Ve A. Morel et cie · 40 pictures

Chabat's 1881 Paris dictionary of building terms, published by Morel, explains construction materials, tools and architectural forms for builders and architects. Its pictures are plain line diagrams: a stair cut in section, a pedestal with cornice, a plan of corner rooms around a central stair hall, and a braced timber framing elevation, offering designers clear geometric structures for layout and diagram work.
