Architektonisches Lehrbuch: Über die höhere Baukunst
Architektonisches Lehrbuch is an 1819 architectural textbook on higher building art by Friedrich Weinbrenner, held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at architecture students and builders. Its plates are engraved architectural drawings: column bases and profiles, doorway and window elevations with cross-sections, Corinthian and composite capitals, and ornamental friezes with swags, garlands and arabesques. A designer could take the crisp classical orders, moulding profiles and garland motifs as reference for period ornament and typographic borders.
