According to Michele Laing, the Bruno Zevi article in Architettura does not have any illustrations.  (Alas.)  The article is, however, part of the correct chain.  In 1959, Reyner Banham and Bruno Zevi were arguing about the Neo-Liberty movement—that group of young Italian architects inspired by Art Nouveau.  Zevi was able to end the discussion triumphantly when he published—in Architettura--the door handle designed by Victor Horta..  My guess is that there was some to-ing and fro-ing for a while with Banham publishing in AR and Zevi in Architettura.  It may be that Zevi published the image of the door handle alone, without any article at all.  Michele is, God bless her, going to look further. 

 

Stay tuned.

I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.
