Les oeuvres d'architecture : d'Antoine le Pautre
A 1691 architectural pattern book by Antoine Lepautre, published by Jombert in Paris, collecting engraved designs of palaces, façades and garden buildings for French patrons and architects. The plates are rotated on the page and show building elevations drawn in clean line engraving, with figures and trees placed at the edges for scale; a designer could borrow their classical rhythm of windows, pilasters and pediments as a structural template.
