Six bound suites of engravings by the French architect-designer Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, issued at Orléans and Paris from 1549 for architects, masons and ornamentists, with plates after Hieronymus Cock's Roman ruins. Circular perspective views of arcaded courtyards and colonnades sit beside strapwork panels, column orders, caryatids and lock plates, giving designers ready roundels, tiled floor grids and interlace frames.
