Monuments modernes de la Perse

Coste, Pascal, 1787-1879 · 1867 · Paris, A. Morel · 8 pictures

An architectural folio of nineteenth-century Persian buildings, published in Paris in 1867 by A. Morel and drawn by the French architect Pascal Coste, who recorded Islamic monuments in Iran for a European audience of architects and scholars. The plates are measured elevations, plans and sections in fine line, with tiled portals, domes, minarets and arcaded courtyards that a designer could use for geometric pattern, tile-work structure, or a restrained engraved architectural style.
