Les Concours d'architecture de l'année scolaire...
This is a 1907 Paris plate book of student architecture competition entries from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, published by Auguste Vincent and preserved by the Getty Research Institute. Its plates show measured plans, elevations and perspective views of public buildings such as baths, a nautical gargle and a hotel, drawn in precise line with architectural lettering. A designer might borrow the crisp ink-line plan layouts, formal symmetrical elevations and tidy plate typography as models for technical diagrams.
