London.The Authors.1715 5 vols. Folio., 375 engraved plates, including many double-page. Vitruvius Britannicus is indispensable for the study of 17th and 18th-century architecture in England, and occupies its own place in architectural history as the book which established Palladian architecture as the approved style for Britain in the 18th century.

Plate XXIII £85 drawn by le Roy eng Jean François de Neufforge

JULIEN-DAVID LE ROY . . The Ruins of the Most Beautiful Monuments of Greece. /Les ruines des plus beaux monuments de la Grèce. Considérés du côté de l'histoire et du côté de l'architecture. Seconde édition corrigée et augmentée. 2 vols. in 1. xxiv, 54, xx, 54pp., 61 copper-engraved plates after Le Roy, principally by Le Bas, but also by Patte and Neufforge. Lrg. folio.from the first edition 1758 Copper Plate engravings on laid paper/Chain-linked Size: 57 x 42 cm full page

. An early and very influential work on classical architecture, with sensitive picturesque compositions of the major monuments of Athens and elsewhere. Le Roy (1724? - 1803), successor to Blondel as professor of architecture, and a teacher of Durand, was one of the foremost exponents of Greek taste. "Le Roy's 'Ruines,' though it does not provide a comprehensive theory and appears to waver between the genres of the treatise on aesthetics, the voyage pittoresque, and the archaeological publication, breaks new ground in providing a synthesis of archaeological findings with a body of architectural theory developed and expanded from the important controversy of Claude Perrault and François Blondel. It also includes material based on new rational and historical attitudes which were being developed by Jacques-François Blondel and would find their most extreme statement in the work of Claude Nicolas Ledoux and Étienne-Louis Boullée. Perhaps the most important, Le Roy's treatise provides the theoretical framework and many of the models for French neoclassical architecture" (Dora Wiebenson, in Millard).

J.F. de Neufforge (1714-1791) engraved and published a group of handsome architectural studies and details. These classical decorative images were of building façades and plans, garden plans, drawings for fountains, gates and other architectural details. Each engraving demonstrated a balance between the simple lines of classic Greco-Roman architecture and the fine ornament and detail prevalent in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These delicately engraved prints are fine examples of the decoration of the period immediately preceding the American and French Revolutions. From this book he went on to write and illustrate Recueil Elementaire D'Architecture included some 900 architectural engravings, nearly all of which were not only designed by also engraved by Neufforge himself. The publication was extensively used as a source-book throughout the late 18th century.
