Karen It’s always nice to come back from vacation with a fun – if difficult – reference question. You may wish to refer your student to the Italian Architectural Drawings Project Collection (IADPC) http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/research/library/imagecollections/core-collection/idapc.html at the link you will find a description and further information.

A student is trying to find measured drawings of Italian Renaissance balustrades. I keep thinking some kind of resource must exist that shows lots of examples of different parts of buildings (I'd be happy even to find photos, if not drawings). I do have some books like this but have found only a few balustrades. I'd appreciate any suggestions! thank you, Karen Bouchard Brown University -- Karen A.
