Description Des Principales Pierres Gravées Du Cabinet De S. A. S. Monseigneur Le Duc D'Orleans, Premier Prince Du Sang

LaChau, Géraud de [Hrsg.], Le Blond <Abbé> [Hrsg.], Orléans, Louis Philippe d' [Samml.] · 1780 · 130 pictures

This is a 1780 French catalogue of the principal engraved gems in the cabinet of the Duke of Orléans, edited by Géraud de Lachau and the Abbé Le Blond and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates show oval cameo-style profiles and figures in fine line engraving, and a designer could take from them the classical cameo format of a framed oval with a dark ground, with the profile bust and its wings and drapery rendered in dense hatching.
