Inventaire de Marie-Josèphe de Saxe, dauphine de France
This is a Paris 1883 inventory by Germain Bapst, published by Imprimerie générale A. Lahure, cataloguing the art objects and furnishings of Marie-Josèphe de Saxe, Dauphine of France, who died in 1767. The pictures show its title page in a rococo cartouche, a cipher on a binding, a crowned coat of arms, and an engraved oval portrait of the dauphine reading a book. A designer might take rococo scrollwork, monogram letterforms and heraldic composition from them.
