Les ouvrages d'architecture : dans les quels on voit les représentations de plusieurs édifices considérables en plans & élévations, avec leurs descriptions
A 1715 architectural pattern book published in Leiden by Van der Aa, collecting the designs of Dutch architect Pieter Post (1608-1669) in plans and elevations with descriptions, aimed at builders and students of architecture. The pictures are engraved floor plans and facade elevations of classical buildings, with fine line hatching for walls, rows of tall sash windows set between pilasters, and cross-hatched rooms marked with lettered keys. A designer could draw on their strict symmetry, orderly grids of windows and columns, and the clean architectural linework.
