The architecture of A. Palladio, in four books : containing, a short treatise of the five orders, and the most necessary observations concerning all sorts of building : as also the different construction of private and publick houses, high-ways, bridges, market-places, xystes, and temples, with their plans, sections, and uprights : to which are added several notes and observations made by Inigo Jones, never printed before
This is a 1715 London edition of Andrea Palladio's architectural treatise, printed by John Watts for the author and edited by Giacomo Leoni with notes by Inigo Jones, aimed at builders and students of architecture. The pictures are faint, full-page plates of building elevations, plans and sections, drawn as flat architectural line work with columns, pilasters, arches and rows of windows that a designer could use for classical proportion and façade layout.
