Vitruvius Britannicus, or, The British architect : containing the plans, elevations, and sections of the regular buildings, both publick and private, in Great Britain : with variety of new designs ...
Vitruvius Britannicus, published in London in 1717 by Colen Campbell, is a folio survey of British country houses and public buildings, presented to patrons and builders as a model of classical architecture. Its engraved pages pair front and side elevations with floor plans drawn at a shared scale, with the ground plan set beneath the facade so a designer can read the proportions, column orders, and room arrangements together.
