"Architecture," issued 1802-1805, London, engraved by W. Lowry (each is dated at the bottom).  A fascinating group of four  early nineteenth-century steel engravings pertaining to the study of Architecture.   One image shows the Doric Order at the Parthenon, another shows the Temple of Panrosus, and a third shows the Tuscan Order at the Church in Covent Garden.  The fourth sheet contains seven figures of different classical bases and capitals.  A very interesting set of engravings, very desirable to anyone with affinity for classical architecture. 

In VG+ antiquarian condition, with some very light foxing/fading to margins (not in the least detracting).  Sheets measure c. 10 3/4" H x 8 1/4" W, image areas vary.  

Please note: the sheets are nicely uniform in color, although the digital photos seem to suggest otherwise. 

Obviously uncommon as a grouping by virtue of their date.
