Serlio's 1537 Venetian treatise on architecture, printed by Francesco Marcolini in Venice, sets out the five classical orders for builders and students of architecture. The pictures are plain woodcut elevations and details of columns, capitals, mouldings and arched doorways, with clean outlines and hatched shading that a designer could adapt for classical ornament, proportion studies or architectural line drawings.
