Dissertation sur les dégradations survenues aux piliers du dome du Panthéon françois, et sur les moyens d'y remédier
A French architectural treatise by engineer E.-M. Gauthey, printed in Paris in 1797, examining structural damage to the piers of the Panthéon dome and how to repair them. Its pictures are measured tables of numbers and plate-sized engineering drawings of the church's vaulted interior, plans and sections, with a woodcut vignette of a seated woman beside a column and books; a designer might take the precise, grid-like tabular layouts and the crisp architectural linework.
