La vie privée d'autrefois : arts et métiers, modes, murs, usages des parisiens du XVIIe au XVIIIe siècle d'après des documents originaux ou inédits
A French social history of Paris from the seventeenth to eighteenth century, written by Alfred Franklin and published in Paris by Plon and Nourrit in 1887, covering crafts, fashion, walls and customs of ordinary Parisians. Its pictures are rotated engravings of city buildings and streets, with a formal courtyard or garden view and a plan-like aerial perspective of a palace and town, offering a designer reference for dense urban layouts, architectural elevations and period townscapes.
