Die Villen des Andrea Palladio: ein Beitrag zur Entwicklungsgeschichte der Renaissance-Architektur
A 1909 German architectural study, Die Villen des Andrea Palladio, edited by Fritz Burger and issued by Heidelberg University Library, traces the development of Renaissance architecture through Palladio's country villas for scholars of architectural history. Its photographic plates show villa façades photographed head-on or at a slight angle, with some reproduced sideways, offering designers clear references to classical proportion, symmetrical elevations, pedimented porticos, and rhythmic window bays.
