Roland Fréart de Chambray's 1650 Paris treatise compares classical and modern architecture, printed by Edme Martin for architects and builders studying the five orders. Its plates set out ground plans, column elevations and detailed entablature and capital profiles, drawn with measured dimension lines and lettered keys, which a designer can use as precise references for classical proportion and ornament.
