A French architecture course by Jacques-François Blondel, with additions by Pierre Patte, published in Paris in 1771 for students and builders learning ornament, distribution and construction of buildings. Its two plates are small wood-engraved ornaments: a horizontal strapwork and foliage border and a cluster of roses, grapes and fruit tied with ribbon, both suited to decorative borders, cartouches and garland motifs.
