Analyse descriptive, historique et raisonnée des monuments de l'antiquité, des édifices les plus remarquables du moyen-âge et des derniers temps, des rivières, des canaux navigables et d'irrigations, des déssèchements, des ponts e des ports. Atlas vols. to part 1-5. N.pl., n.publ., n.d. (Munich, the author, 1838), 2 vols., first vol. (plates to vol. 1-3): 102 (fold.) double-p./ single-p. lithogr./. engr. maps/ plates/ plans and views, 5 double-p. tables; second vol. (plates to vol. 4-5): handcol. fold. double-p. plan of St. Petersburg, 74 (fold.) double-p. maps (partly handcol. in outline), plans and plates, contemp. unif. gilt hcalf w. 2 red mor. letterpieces, folio. - Partly sl. foxed, otherwise very fine. Spine-ends sl. worn. = The plates contained in these two volumes are numbered non-consecutively. Apart from numerous (impressive) architectonic plates showing constructions details and fine views of bridges, churches, lighthouses, the orders of columns, the Analyse descriptive also contains numerous maps of areas in The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Russia and England, concentrating on the rivers, canals and defences against flooding and damage from excessive water. No French edition traced to which these plates might belong. The plates were almost all published in Wiebeking's Theoretisch-practische bürgerliche Baukunde, durch Geschichte und Beschreibung der merkwürdigsten antiken Baudenkmahle und ihrer genauen Abbildungen bereichert (publ. 1821-1826). H. HILZ, in Deutsche Bauzeitung (edition of 02/08/2004) assesses the importance of Wiebeking in the following words: "The wide-ranging professional practice of Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking - encompassing bridge, road and hydraulic engineering - was still typical for the end of the 18th century. At the same time, Wiebeking can be seen as one of the earliest representatives of modern engineering on account of his professional activity based on contemporary literature and his own research. His own practice reflects the gradual change in the building industry from an empirical to a scientific basis." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE L.
