An 1807 architectural survey by William Wilkins, printed at Cambridge with London booksellers, recording the Greek temples of Magna Graecia in Sicily and southern Italy for scholars and architects. The four plates show elevations and sections of Doric colonnades drawn as flat engravings, with fluted columns, capitals, entablatures and pediments set in pale grey wash, useful for designers studying classical proportion, column rhythm and stone detailing.
