Clapasson, André, 1708-1770, Mathey, Charles Grégoire, d. 1749 · 1741 · A Lyon ... : De l'imprimerie d'Aimé Delaroche ... · 1 picture

A 1741 French guidebook to the city of Lyon, written by André Clapasson and printed at Lyon by Aimé Delaroche, with engraved plates by Charles Grégoire Mathey for readers interested in the city and its notable people. The single picture is a baroque cartouche framing a seated woman with a lion, a distant city skyline, and a small domed building, signed 'Mathey fecit'; a designer could borrow its scrolling shield frame, carved lion mask crest, and leafy garland border as ornament.
