Penther, Johann Friedrich, 1693-1749 · 1764 · Augspurg : Bey Johann Andreas Pfeffel, Kunstverleger · 17 pictures

A German-language architectural handbook by Johann Friedrich Penther, published in Augsburg in 1764, offering a lexicon of building terms in German, French, Italian and Latin for those learning domestic architecture. The plates show ground plans with lettered keys, elevations of multi-storey town houses with arcaded ground floors, and a long sectional view of a building with a central pavilion. A designer might take from them the crisp hatched linework and the clear, schematic way plans and facades were set out on the page.
