Canella, Renzo · 1914 · Milano, Ulrico Hoepli · 16 pictures

An Italian architectural history textbook by Renzo Canella, published by Ulrico Hoepli in Milan in 1914, aimed at students and readers of architectural styles. Its plates pair photographs of façades such as Rome's Palazzo Spada and Venice's Ca d'Oro with line drawings of column, wall and arcade details. A designer could draw from the clear linework of the drawn details and the ornate stone façades in the photographs for period-style ornament and pattern.
