Vitruvius Britannicus, published in London in 1715 by the Scottish architect Colen Campbell, is a folio collection of plans, elevations and sections of notable British buildings, aimed at architects and patrons of the Palladian revival. Its engravings are crisp architectural drawings in ink on cream paper, with plans and façades set side by side, offering a designer clear models of classical rhythm, symmetry and orderly window placement.
