Elementi dell' architettura Lodoliana, o sia, L'arte del fabbricare con solidità scientifica e con eleganza non capricciosa, libri due
An Italian architectural treatise setting out Carlo Lodoli's rationalist building principles, printed in Rome by the Pagliarini press in 1786 for architects and learned readers, with a portrait engraved after Alessandro Longhi. The plates pair a stipple-and-line friar's portrait framed by drafting tools and stone tablets with hatched letterpress headpieces: crowned monogram cartouches, rococo scrollwork, motto ribbons, and half-figure putti usable as vignettes and borders.
