Le Comte, Florent, -1712 · 1699 · Paris : N. Le Clerc · 17 pictures

Cabinet des singularitez d'architecture, peinture, sculpture et graveure is a 1699 Paris art book by Florent Le Comte, published by N. Le Clerc for readers wanting an introduction to the fine arts through engraved plates. Its pictures are small woodcut-style ornaments: symmetrical cartouches, foliage swags, a central face flanked by scrolls and birds, and a framed oval emblem. A designer could draw on their tight symmetry and dense botanical borders for vignettes, frames and headpieces.
