The first [-fift] booke of architecture
This is a 1611 London edition of Sebastiano Serlio's architectural treatise, printed for Robert Peake and aimed at builders and students of architecture. Its woodcut plates show classical gateways and portals in elevation, perspective, and close detail, with blocked stonework, arches, and hinged doors drawn in crisp black line.
