M. Vitrvvii ... De architectvra libri decem: ad Augustum Caesarem accuratiß. conscripti & nunc primum in Germania ... exornati
A 1543 Latin edition of Vitruvius's ten books on architecture, issued in Germany and prepared for scholars, builders and craftsmen by an editor named in the record as Frontinus. The pages here show printed text blocks alongside woodcut diagrams of wall construction, a split-open building section, and classical column orders. A designer could draw on the crisp, schematic woodcut style for diagrammatic architectural illustration, with its hatched masonry and stepped joinery.
