Noções elementares de archeologia.
A Portuguese archaeology primer by J. P. N. da Silva, printed in Lisbon in 1878 by Lallemant frères as an introduction to architectural history. Its pictures are small line engravings of architectural fragments: a rotated arched doorway with carved voussoirs, a cutaway plan of a structure, a stone pier with decorative courses, and a gabled church facade with a rose window and lancet openings, useful for a designer studying historic masonry and Gothic detail.
