Description
1756 1ed Treaty on Chimneys Caminology Fireplaces Illustrated Architecture RARE
Pierre Hebrards “Caminologie”, or “Treaty on Chimneys” is a rare 18th-century study of the science and construction of chimneys. Hebrard looked to provide instruction to builders on how to decrease or increase draft, as well as what materials are best for building strong chimneys and fireplaces. This book proved to be the primary resource on chimney engineering and architecture from the 18th-century and was one of the first treatises to describe other important inventions used to help smoke and air flow better for chimney users.
While the contents of this work are important, the 21 folding engravings are what makes this book so valuable – impressive views of fireplaces, chimneys, furnaces, smoke stacks, and much more!
