Recueil d'architecture dessiné et mesuré en Italie is an 1821 Paris album of measured architectural drawings by François Léonard Séheult, made during his Italian travels of 1791 to 1793 and published for architects and students. The plates show villas, garden layouts and garden ornaments drawn in engraved line, with elevations, sections and plans placed side by side. A designer could take from them the clear plan-and-elevation method of recording a building and the restrained, orderly line of neoclassical garden architecture.
