These come from Antonio Basoli's Alfabeto Pittorico, a collection of 25 lithographs of an architectural alphabet from 1839. A replica was republished in 1998 by Ravensburger Verlag (in a series of 4 books about alphabet-inspired architecture), but I am having quite a challenging time finding any evidence of this. It doesn't help that it was a German book (though it included English translation.) Read more about it here.
