This book documents the Roman monuments of Baalbek in present-day Lebanon. It was a result of Robert Wood and James Dawkins' 1750-53 trip to Asia Minor. Wood was a member of the Society of the Dilettanti These volumes exhibited mark the beginning of the rise of the British as explorers of antiquity. In his commentary Wood described the ruins in the Bekka Valley as ‘the remains of the boldest plan we ever saw attempted in architecture.' While he understood the sites to be of Roman origin, Wood acknowledged a local tradition that linked the buildings back to Solomon. The engravings were prepared by G.B. Borra in England after drawings that he made on site. The work proved to be a valuable source for the architects of the classical revival.

In 1742 James Stuart went to London where he met Nicholas Revett. With support from English travellers and residents in Rome, they raised funds and issued proposals for a ‘new and accurate description of the Antiquities &c. in the Province of Attica'. Like Fréart de Chambray, Stuart believed that Greece, not Rome, should be the paragon. Between 1751 and 1753 the two Englishmen painstakingly surveyed the buildings of Greece. This, the much awaited volume of 1762, describes minor buildings. Though it fell short of expectation it did have significant impact. Over the next fifty-four years three subsequent volumes were published fuelling the ‘gusto Greco'.
Published shortly after James Stuart's death, the acclaimed second volume of The antiquities of Athens … was devoted to the Acropolis. This is dealt with in the precise, if somewhat lifeless, neoclassical spirit. Both Stuart and Revett were members of the Society of the Dilettanti which had been formed in 1732 as a convivial meeting group for Englishmen on the Grand Tour. By the 1760s, the society sponsored archaeological expedition and publication. It produced the two volume Ionian Antiquities in 1769 and 1797.

In his seven-volume Tutte l'opere d'architettura that first appeared in 1584, Serlio aimed to provide a practical manual of architecture while avoiding explicit theory. As such the work became one of the most influential of all publications on architecture. The third book which is displayed here, was first printed in 1540. In it Serlio documents and discusses Roman and Renaissance architecture. He measured and reconstructed partial ruins. Serlio did not doubt the value of the lessons from antiquity. In acknowledging that the work of the Greeks was superior to the Romans, he prepared the way for debate in subsequent centuries.

This drawing of Diocletian's Baths can be traced to Andrea Palladio. The Bertotti-Scamozzi illustrations in this volume follow those included by the English architect, Lord Burlington, in his study of the Baths of the Romans, Fabbriche Antiche (1730). These in turn were based upon drawings by Palladio that the Englishman had acquired in Italy some years earlier. Bertotti-Scamozzi had earlier published several volumes documenting Palladio's buildings.

The Greek temples at Paestum in southern Italy were almost unknown until the 1750s. They became better known through publication. This book by Thomas Major was one of the first that enabled architects of Northern and Western Europe to study the three temples at this site. Along with the work of Stuart and Revett, these engravings were a valuable source for the Greek revival at the end of the 18th century. Piranesi later produced a series of twenty engravings of the ruins at Paestum in 1778.

This book on the buildings and ruins of Rome by the 17th century artist and engraver, Giovanni Maggi, is typical of the works by which the ruins of antiquity became known outside Italy through that century. The remnant of the Temple of Jupiter Stator (Castor and Pollux) in the Roman Forum, shown here with its prominent and accessible columns and entablature, was the frequent subject of measured drawings by the visiting architects of the 18th century. The amphitheatre was at the Campus Martius. Maggi is now better known for an impressive twelve sheet perspectival map of Rome that was published after his death in 1725. A copy of an early 20th century reprint of Iconographia della citta di Roma is held in the Library's Special Collections.

Following a stay in Rome in 1650, Fréart de Chambray published this anthology of ten ancient and modern writers on the classical orders. He argues that the Greek orders (the Doric, the Ionic, and Corinthian) are perfect models for all architecture and he condemns the Roman orders (the Tuscan and the Composite) as being corrupt. Citing its use in the Temple of Solomon, he declares the Corinthian order to be the ‘flower of Architecture and the Order of Orders'. To Fréart de Chambray, Vitruvius and his translators were beyond reproach.

The New Zealander in London
In the 1870s the artist Gustave Doré depicted Macaulay's New Zealander visiting future London. In the accompanying text Jerrold wrote, ‘Macaulay's dream of the far future, with the tourist New Zealander ... contemplating "The glory that was Greece - The grandeur that was Rome".' This solitary philosopher-artist appears more akin to romanticised images of young English travelers, discovering and sketching the ruins of Palmyra a century earlier, than to New Zealanders who had recently been at war with Colonial and Imperial troops.

In 1754 Robert Adam left Scotland for France and Italy on a Grand Tour. In Italy he met the French architect, Charles Louis Clérisseau, and the Italian, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, who would both have a significant influence upon him and his later work. While abroad, Adam resolved to move to London and set about producing a volume for publication upon his return. The ruins of the palace at Spalatro (now known as Split, on the Dalmatian coast) were easily accessible from Italy but had not been satisfactorily documented. Over a period of five weeks Adam sketched and supervised the documentation of the ruins. He was accompanied by Clérisseau, who produced perspectives, and two German draftsmen who undertook the measured drawings. Most of the published drawings are believed to be the work of Clérisseau.

Roy Andrews (1884-1960) was an explorer, and long-time curator and director of the American Museum of Natural History. His Asiatic Zoological Expedition of 1916-17 was written up in his "Camps and Trails in China". The pagoda on the cover is found at Ta-Li, a town in the Yunnan province that was also visited by Marco Polo in the Thirteenth century Incidentally, it is said that the movie character Indiana Jones was modelled on Andrews.

Designed in conjunction with the Home Science Department, the blueprint of a proposed structure for display at the South Seas Exhibition (1925-1926) includes floor-plans, various elevations and some details of furnishings. The plan shows the influence of the Arts and Crafts design philosophy.
Information on the blueprint indicates that the cottage was to be displayed in the 'Court of Education' section of the South Seas Exhibition.

We can assume that this work, by being one of two elevations of the west wall of the clocktower building, was effectively commissioned by the University in 1877 when they asked Bury, the winner of the competition for a new university building, to provide a gothic Design The final contracts for which Maxwell Bury was employed were let in 1884, after which Bury no longer maintained a practice in Dunedin and so it looks as though, from the mid-1880s until until ca 1908, this drawing, along with the other Bury drawings, was the property of the University. In 1908 Edmunde Anscombe was contracted to design the School of Mines and by degrees became the University architect. Besides being commisioned to design new buildings, he also designed the Oliver and Physics wings of the clocktower building. It seems likely that while he was in charge of the university buildings and thought of as the University architect, he and his associates (H. McDowell Smith & L.D. Coombs), came into possession of these drawings. The firm of Miller and White inherited one half of Anscombe's practice (the McDowell Smith half was inherited by the firm that is now Oakley Grey but was for a while Pinfold, Oakley & Turvey). Miller & White became, post WW2, Miller, White & Dunn, then Miller, White & Dalziel, and finally Dalziel Architects It seems that this work was retained by these firms as part of their property, and lent to the University of Otago in 1969 for 100 years celebrations.
