A French pattern book of house designs by Toulouse architect Urbain Vitry, engraved by Auguste Hibon and published in Brussels in 1827 for architects, engineers, builders and owners intending to direct their own workmen. The plates are engraved floor plans and sections of town houses, farms, orangeries and outbuildings, with walls filled solid black against white rooms, scale bars, spiral and straight stair diagrams, and small engraved captions in script — useful for stencil-like geometric silhouettes, measured-drawing textures, and architectural line ornament.
