Rural architecture in the Chinese taste : being designs entirely new for the decoration of gardens, parks, forrests, insides of houses, &c., on sixty copper plates, with full instructions for workmen : also a near estimate of the charge, and hints where proper to be erected
Rural architecture in the Chinese taste is a 1755 London pattern book of copper-plate designs by William Halfpenny and John Halfpenny, published by Robert Sayer for garden builders and workmen. The plates show pavilions, arbours, and garden structures drawn as elevations, plans, and sections with scale bars, giving designers working drawings for pagoda-like forms, lattice screens, and roofs.
