Liure d'architecture : contenant plusievrs portiques de differentes inuentions sur les cinq ordres de colomnes
A 1640 Paris pattern book of architectural gateways by Alexandre Francine, with engravings by Abraham Bosse and publication by Melchior Tavernier, aimed at architects and craftsmen working in the five classical orders. The plates are plain engraved elevations of portals and arches, each framed by columns, pilasters, broken pediments and carved cartouches. A designer could draw on their proportions, layered ornament and varied pediment shapes for doorway or gate design.
