A parallel of the antient architecture with the modern : in a collection of ten principal authors who have written upon the five orders ...
A 1723 London treatise on architecture, printed for several booksellers, comparing the ancient and modern classical orders by collecting ten principal authors including Fréart, Evelyn and Alberti for architects and students. The four pictures are engraved plates of column capitals and entablatures set side by side in ancient and modern versions, with measured elevations, ornamented Corinthian and Ionic capitals, and fluted shafts that a designer could use for classical moulding and proportion references.
