Bibliotheque Des Artistes Et Des Amateurs: Ou Tablettes Analytiques, Et Méthodiques, Sur Les Sçiences Et Les Beaux Arts: Ouvrage utile à l'Instruction de la Jeunesse, à l'usage des Personnes de tout âge & de tout état ...
A French bibliographic and arts reference compiled by Jean-Raymond de Petity and published in 1766, intended as an instructional guide for young readers and adults of every rank on the sciences and fine arts. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments and vignettes, such as crowned cartouches, flower baskets, and heraldic shields with fleurs-de-lis, which a designer could adapt for decorative borders, headers, or ornamental dividers in period-style layouts.
