Engrave
Using copper or steel plates to render architectural drawings is one of the oldest methods employed to realize architectural projects. As early as the sixteenth century, many of the best architects turned to engraving to illustrate their drawings. Though metal plates were used, they were not treated with nitric acid (as in the etching method), nor were the images applied to the plates with a needle. Instead, these engravings were typically produced on copper, or more often steel, plates with a thick cutting instrument called a burin, a quadragonal high-tempered steel rod with a beveled tip. At the same time, in the actual process of printing, pigments were rubbed directly into deep grooves without any dipping occurring. This was the method employed to produce Palladio's engravings - i.e., the drawings in his initial publications. However, burin engraving was gradually superseded by "drypoint," a non-dip engraving technique known as pointe seche. This method of executing a drawing on the blackened surface of a plate with a sharp, steel needle is significantly easier - it is almost as easy as drawing on paper with a pencil. The very first work made by means of drypoint was executed by Albrecht Durer in 1513, i.e., at a time when fine woodcut engravings were still being produced - albeit somewhat rough and flat, perhaps, but rich in the quality of their hatchings.

FROM THESE BOOKS
Temple of Fortuna, Book IV, plates XXXV-XXXVII, The Architecture of A. Palladio, third edition by Giacomo Leoni, London, 1742. This Roman temple was a source for the decoration of Jefferson's bedchamber.
5) 1549 and Later: Palladio's Basilica, Italy During the late 1500s, Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio brought new appreciation for the classical ideas of ancient Rome when he transformed the town hall in Vicenza, Italy into the Basilica (Palace of Justice). Palladio gave the remodeled building two styles of classical columns: Doric on the lower portion and Ionic on the upper portion. Palladio's later designs continued to reflect the humanist values of the Renaissance period.
Andrea Palladio's Quattro libri dell'architettura was first published in 1570. Since then more than forty editions in many languages have appeared. The present translation by two professors at the universities of Bath and Nottingham in England is the forty-third edition and the first English translation since Isaac Ware's in 1738. If there is any doubt as to the meaning of a word, the Italian is inserted in brackets after the English and in most cases may be pursued in the very extensive and useful glossary. Whereas Ware illustrated his translation with engravings of Palladio's woodcuts, reversing the images in so doing, the present edition is illustrated with facsimiles of Palladio's originals.

CORRECTION in JEFFERSON'S HAND: On page 109 in entry 26, Jefferson has crossed out "Inigo Jones'" (which the editors have restored within angle brackets) and inserted "Ld. Burlington's." This is a strange entry. The Architecture of A. Palladio is the first complete English edition of Palladio's work and was published in 1715 by Giacomo Leoni. Though Inigo Jones's notes were advertised as being included in this edition, they did not appear until the 1742 edition. Jefferson's notation, how- ever, may refer instead to The Four Books of Andrea Palladio's Architecture pub- lished by Isaac Ware in London in 1738, which was both dedicated to Lord Burlington and translated by him. Richard Boyle, the third earl of Burlington, was an important force in the early eighteenth century in the movement to instill the principles of the Italian Renaissance in English architects. The illustrations in the 1738 Ware edition faithfully followed the original woodblocks from the 1570 Italian edition and the publisher took pains in other ways to reflect the integrity of the first edition. In contrast, Leoni's 1715 and 1742 versions used copperplate engravings that, though they are based on the 1570 woodblocks, distort the proportions of the illustrations.

1742 printing
1746) (a.k.a James Leoni) was born in Venice. He was a devotee of the work of Florentine architectural commentator and architect Leone Battista Alberti (1404 - 1472), who had also been the chief inspiration of the architect Andrea Palladio 1508 - 1591. Leoni thus served as a prominent exponent of the Palladian revival in architecture in England, beginning in earnest around 1720. Also loosely referred to as Georgian architecture, this style is rooted in Italian Renaissance architecture.
