Designs in architecture, for garden chairs, small gates for villas, park entrances, aviarys, temples, boat houses, mausoleums, and bridges (London, 1800), pl. 6 NOTES: This plate is actually dated 1820. This is because this copy of the book is a later reprint of the original volume. The plates dated 1800 are probably the ones that were reprinted unaltered.
