Fragmens et de Principes de Desseins de tous les genres: dessinés d'une maniere nouvelle et facile pour les éleves
A French ornament-instruction plate book of 1778, edited by Jean-Baptiste Huet and Louis Marin Bonnet, issued as a teaching series for students learning design in a simple, new manner. The pictures show engraved and etched decorative friezes, cartouches, and panels of scrolls, foliage, and putti, with a few architectural ruin views, and a designer could take from them the balanced symmetry and flowing acanthus-and-scroll vocabulary of eighteenth-century French ornament.
