Penther, Johann Friedrich, 1693-1749 · 1764 · Augspurg : Bey Johann Andreas Pfeffel, Kunstverleger · 21 pictures

A German architectural handbook by Johann Friedrich Penther, published in Augsburg in 1764 for builders and students of domestic architecture, with a lexicon of building terms. The pictures are engraved plates of elevations and floor plans of large buildings, drawn in precise line with lettered keys. A designer might take from them the clean hatching and orderly plan layouts of 18th-century civic architecture.
