A folio of engraved architectural views of the Château de Richelieu in France, published under Cardinal Richelieu's patronage with plans and elevations by Jacques Le Mercier and Jean Marot in the seventeenth century. The pictures are etched elevations and bird's-eye perspectives of courtyards, wings and gardens, drawn in clean measured lines that show how a grand symmetrical palace is organised for a designer studying order, axis and spatial layout.
