Les plus beaux édifices de la ville de Gênes et de ses environs : recueil
A folio architectural survey of Genoese palaces and their surroundings, published in Paris in 1818 by Martin Pierre Gauthier, Auguste Hibon and the Thierry brothers, aimed at architects and students of classical building. The plates pair elevations and cross-sections with floor plans, and one shows a stair hall with paired arches and roundels. A designer could take from them the clean line-drawn plan grid, the symmetrical façades with rows of windows, and the hierarchy of ground plan to elevation.
