Doorsnede van een gebouw c. 1864

Willem Springer jr., a Dutch architect known for his detailed drawings, created "Doorsnede van een gebouw" (Cross-section of a building) around 1864. The drawing is a precise, technical representation of a building's internal structure, offering a clear view of its construction, materials, and proportions. The cross-section provides a detailed examination of the building's framework, showcasing the arrangement of walls, floors, and roof supports. This type of drawing was common in the 19th century, as it allowed architects to meticulously plan and communicate their designs. This drawing highlights Springer's meticulous approach to architectural illustration and his attention to detail.
