Inventaire général des richesses d'art de la France
This is a French government inventory of art treasures, published in Paris by E. Plon in 1876 under the Ministry of Public Instruction, cataloguing the nation's artistic holdings for a scholarly and administrative readership. The pictures include a title page with a heraldic bookplate of a bee, oak tree and motto, and a detailed plan of a garden and building layout, showing clean line-engraved heraldry and precise architectural drawing a designer could draw on for emblem or plan motifs.
