Curiosités de Paris, de Versailles, Marly, Vincennes, Saint-Cloud, et des environs
A late eighteenth-century French guidebook to Paris, Versailles and nearby royal sites, published in Paris in 1778 by a group of booksellers and written by Le Rouge, Saugrain and Piganiol de La Force for travellers and curious readers. Its pictures are small decorative headpieces and tailpieces in black line, with scrolling acanthus, urns, flower baskets and swags that a designer could adapt for borders, dividers or classical ornament.
