Oeuvres d'architecture de Marie-Joseph Peyre
Oeuvres d'architecture by Marie-Joseph Peyre, published in 1765, is an architectural treatise of plates collected from Heidelberg University Library's Cicognara holdings, aimed at architects and students of building design. The plates are precise floor plans of Roman and ecclesiastical buildings, including Antonine and Diocletian baths and a cathedral, drawn in fine black line with printed captions. A designer might take from them the clean, schematic plan drawing style, with its dense hatching, symmetric grids and minimal labelling.
