Sebastiano Serlio was a 16th-century Italian architect whose book ‘The Works of Architecture and Perspective’ helped establish orders of architecture and design. While Serlio was not the first to publish a book on architecture, this book was the first to be fully illustrated and incorporate woodcut examples of ancient (Roman, Greek, and Egyptian) architecture, geometry and perspective, and construction design.

 

Each section of this highly desirable 1566 first octavo edition contains a separate title page. There are seemingly countless woodcuts throughout this tome – full-page and in-text views of arches, Roman ruins, Egyptian pyramids,  pottery, forts, domes, columns, and entire building facades, all engraved by German engraver Johann Chrieger.
