Traité de la peinture, et de la sculpture: divisé en trois tomes: Description de divers fameux tableaux ... qui se trouvent en Italie
Richardson's 1728 French treatise on painting and sculpture, a Heidelberg University Library copy of a book aimed at art lovers and connoisseurs, describes famous pictures in Italy. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a scrolled fleur-de-lis cartouche with foliage, and a basket of fruit and flowers, plus empty rounded frames that suit a designer's own text panels or label borders.
