Architettura delle strade antiche, e moderne

Gautier, H. (Henri), 1660-1737 · 1769 · In Vicenza : Presso Antonio Veronese · 17 pictures

Architettura delle strade antiche, e moderne is an 18th-century Italian engineering treatise on roads, published in Vicenza in 1769 and drawn up by the French engineer Henri Gautier for road builders and surveyors. Its pictures are plates of numbered cross-sections, layer profiles and construction details in fine black line, with lettered keys and hatching that show how road foundations, drainage and paving were built, which suggests clean schematic diagram styles for technical infographics.
