Vitruvius Britannicus, or The British Architect, published in London in 1717 by Colen Campbell, collects plans, elevations and sections of British buildings, both public and private, for architects and builders. Its pictures are engraved architectural elevations of large mansions with rows of tall windows, pedimented centres and rusticated bays, useful to a designer for classical façade proportions and window rhythm.
