The Architectural Plates from the Encyclopedia
The Architectural Plates from the Encyclopedia Description
This beautiful book brings together a rich selection of plates devoted to architecture and its related arts, crafts, and trades. Included here are elegant illustrations of the Louvre, projected elevations and floor plans for the church and abbey of the Panthemont in Paris, the grand Hotel de Ville in Rouen, and the San Carlo Opera House in Naples. Here too are scenes of 18th Century craftsmen at work in the building trades - stone cutters, carpenters, masons - and the enormous range of tools and materials involved in their work. These plates offer a rare insight into the grand style of Baroque and Rococo and the technology that brought it to life.
