La nuova architettura civile, e militare
An Italian treatise on civil and military architecture by Alessandro Capra, printed at Cremona in 1717 for builders, surveyors and fortification engineers. Woodcuts show star-fort plans, ramparts in section, cornice and moulding profiles, pile drivers and water-raising machines, drawn in hard outline with hatched shading and letter keys — useful as diagrammatic line stock and geometric ornament.
