The civil architecture of Vitruvius : comprising those books of the author which relate to the public and private edifices of the ancients : with an introduction, containing an historical view of the rise and progress of architecture amongst the Greeks
A 1813 London edition by Longman, edited by William Wilkins, gathering Vitruvius's books on public and private buildings of the ancients with an introduction on early Greek architecture, aimed at architects and students of classical design. The plates are rotated sideways on the page and show architectural elevations of temple and colonnade fronts, with pedimented gables, fluted Ionic columns with volute capitals, and panelled walls, offering a designer clear classical proportion and ornament reference.
