Tomo I.
Tomo I is an eighteenth-century architectural treatise, printed in Italy, with engraved plates of classical buildings, plans, elevations and orders, apparently made for students and practising architects. The engraved plates show Roman theatres and temples as plans, elevations and sections, with fine line drawings of arches, column capitals and mouldings. A designer could take from them the clean geometry of measured architectural drawing, with its lettered keys, scale details and layered plan-and-elevation layouts.
