Briefve histoire de l'institution des ordres religieux : avec les figures de leurs habits
A brief history of religious orders published in Paris in 1680, with engraved figures of their habits, by Odoardo Fialetti and Rafaelle du Fresne for a general readership of Catholic religious life. Its pictures are small full-length engravings of monks and nuns standing against plain hatched backgrounds, showing cowls, hoods, cloaks, rosaries and crosses, useful for a designer studying period costume silhouettes and the rendering of folded cloth through dense parallel line work.
