The architecture of Marcus Vitruvius Pollio : in ten books
Joseph Gwilt's 1909 edition of Vitruvius's ten-book treatise on Roman architecture, published by Crosby Lockwood & Son, is a scholarly reference for students of classical building. The plates show a temple front with columns and pediment, plan drawings, a sectioned theatre with stairs and vaults, and close technical detail of joinery and masonry, giving designers clear classical orders, proportions, and construction diagrams to draw on.
