L'illumination de la galerie du Louvre pour les rejouissances de la naissance de Monseigneur le duc de Bourgogne

Menestrier, Claude-François, 1631-1705, Bérain, Jean, 1640-1711, Marot, Daniel, 1661-1752 · 1682 · A Paris : Rüe S. Iacques, aux trois cailles · 4 pictures

A 1682 Paris publication by Claude-François Menestrier, with engravings after designs by Jean Bérain and Daniel Marot, describing the illuminations of the Louvre gallery for the birth celebrations of the Duke of Burgundy. The four pictures are small woodcut-style ornaments: a sun face in a ringed roundel, an eight-pointed star framed by scrolls, a crown with stars and foliage, and a floral-bordered initial T, which suggest decorative motifs for festival lighting and frames.
