Traité du beau essentiel dans les arts : appliqué particulièrement à l'architecture, et démontré phisiquement et par l'expérience ...
Charles Étienne Briseux's 1752 Paris treatise on proportion and beauty in architecture, engraved by Johann Georg Wille and Martin Marvie and sold by the author, addressed to architects and theorists of the classical orders. The plates are fine-line engravings comparing entablatures, capitals, arcades and coffered soffits, gridded with measurement numerals and dotted modular lines that designers can lift as diagrammatic ornament.
