Les vies des plus excellents peintres, sculpteurs, et architectes
A 1900 Paris edition of Vasari's Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, edited by Charles Weiss and published by Dorbon-Aîné for an art-literate readership. The first picture is a bird's-eye engraved panorama of Florence with its walls, hills and dense rooftops, and the second is a red-ink ornamental frame around a fleur-de-lis with grotesque figures and putti, which a designer could take as a model for dense border and cartouche work.
